India-Canada Visa Rift: Hardeep Singh Nijjar Killing Escalates Diplomatic Tensions
India has suspended visa services for Canadian citizens and called for a reduction in Canadian diplomats in India as tensions escalate between the two countries over allegations of Indian involvement in the killing of a Sikh Canadian. The allegation is based on surveillance of Indian diplomats in Canada, including intelligence provided by a member of the "Five Eyes" intelligence-sharing alliance. Canada has yet to provide public evidence to support the allegations. The visa suspension has disrupted travel plans for Canadians, and India has cited security threats as the reason for the suspension. The rift between the two countries has strained their once-close relationship, with diplomatic expulsions and warnings to citizens about traveling to each other's countries.
