Diplomatic Crisis Rocks India-Canada Ties
Canada and India are locked in their most severe diplomatic standoff in decades after both nations expelled senior diplomats. The crisis erupted after Canada accused India of involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh community leader labeled a \"terrorist\" by India. New Delhi denies the allegations, calling them \"absurd.\"
What Happened?
Canada removed an Indian diplomat over \"potential links\" to Nijjar’s death.
India retaliated by expelling a Canadian official, citing \"interference in internal matters.\"
Why Now?
Experts suggest the rift reflects deeper tensions. Benoit Hardy-Chartrand (Temple University, Japan) notes: \"This isn’t just about one incident—it’s about trust erosion over separatist movements.\" Meanwhile, Prof. Madhav Nalapat argues Canada is \"prioritizing domestic politics over bilateral ties.\"
Five Eyes Fallout?
Will allies like the US back Canada? Peter Kuznick (American University) warns: \"Western nations may tread carefully—India’s strategic role countering China is too vital to risk.\"
What’s Next?
Trade talks are frozen, and visa services disrupted. Analysts fear long-term damage to India-West relations if investigations escalate. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds!
