Canada has accused India of involvement in the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in June, prompting a significant diplomatic dispute. In response, Canada has withdrawn 41 diplomats from India, following a request to reduce its diplomatic presence. The United States and the United Kingdom have expressed their support for Canada in this matter, expressing concern over Canada's reduced diplomatic presence in India. This dispute has resulted in Canada temporarily suspending in-person operations in Indian consulates and warning of potential visa processing delays. Both the US and UK have emphasized the importance of upholding the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, while urging India not to insist on reducing Canada's diplomatic presence. The UK has specifically criticized India's unilateral removal of diplomatic privileges and immunities. At the heart of this dispute are allegations related to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and Sikh separatist leader, in a Vancouver suburb in June. Canada maintains that India was involved in the murder, while India vehemently denies these allegations, referring to Nijjar as a 'terrorist.' This complex and sensitive situation underscores the challenges of managing diplomatic relations in a case with varying perspectives and significant implications.
