Tensions rise as Canada's Sikh community faces India's scrutiny

The relationship between Canada and India has become tense after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of being behind the murder of a Sikh activist with a Canadian passport on Canadian soil. India has suspended visa processing for Canadian citizens in response. The Sikh separatist movement, which calls for an independent Sikh homeland in Punjab, is still active within the Sikh diaspora in Canada. Sikhs in Canada feel pressure and fear for their safety, while Canadian Hindus are concerned about the rise of radical sentiments among the Sikh community. The situation highlights the importance of free speech and the need for evidence to substantiate allegations.
