Tensions Rise: Canada-India Diplomatic Spat Escalates over Sikh Activist's Assassination

Canada and India are engaged in a diplomatic clash after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in the assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Nijjar was wanted in India for alleged terrorist activities and supporting a banned separatist insurgency. The rift between the two countries has escalated, with India expelling a Canadian diplomat and suspending visa services for Canadian citizens. The allegations have broader global implications, as Western powers seek to maintain a positive relationship with India as a potential counterbalance to China.
