It is noteworthy that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had confirmed the claim of India's involvement in the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. This created a fresh sourness in Canada's bilateral relations with India.

 

Earlier on Saturday, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had accused New Delhi of violating the Vienna Convention by 'expelling' 40 diplomats. Let us tell you that last month, Canada recalled 41 diplomats from India and also stopped its visa and consular services in Chandigarh, Mumbai, and Bengaluru consulates given the central government's decision to snatch their immunity.

 

However, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) responded by saying that no international norms were violated in India. Notably, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Canada has been unable to produce any evidence to prove its claims on the murder.
