Mon Oct 14 16:17:41 UTC 2024: ## India-Canada Relations Deteriorate Further Following Nijjar Murder
**New Delhi, India:** India-Canada relations have taken a sharp turn for the worse following the murder of Khalistani separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. In a significant escalation, India has recalled its High Commissioner from Canada and reduced the number of diplomatic personnel in the country.
India has expressed concerns about the safety of its diplomatic representatives in Canada, citing the suspicious circumstances surrounding the killing of Nijjar. The move comes after Canada issued a statement hinting at the involvement of Indian intelligence in the murder, alleging that the Indian High Commissioner in Canada is linked to the incident.
This development marks a significant deterioration in relations between the two countries. The situation is further compounded by concerns over potential security threats to Indian diplomats in Canada.
While India maintains its stance that it has no role in Nijjar’s death, the accusations and counter-accusations continue to cast a shadow over the bilateral relationship. The situation remains tense and warrants further investigation and diplomatic dialogue to de-escalate tensions.
