**New Delhi:** In a shocking development, Canada has accused India’s High Commissioner to Canada of being involved in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the leader of the Sikh For Justice organization. The incident occurred last June in Ottawa, and the Canadian government has formally informed India about their suspicions.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has condemned the accusations as “absurd,” claiming that the Canadian government’s stance is motivated by “vote bank politics” and is part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s political agenda. In response, India has summoned the Canadian High Commissioner in Delhi for an explanation.
The accusations have raised serious concerns about the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The incident comes amidst a tense period between India and Canada, marked by heightened tensions over political asylum granted to Sikh separatists and the alleged involvement of Indian intelligence agencies in Canada.
The Canadian government’s decision to accuse the Indian High Commissioner of involvement in a murder has further escalated the situation, making it crucial for both countries to engage in constructive dialogue and resolve the issue through diplomatic channels.
