Unprecedented diplomatic tensions between Canada and India
Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau has urged India to investigate seriously his claim that he has credible information linking New Delhi to the assassination of a Sikh separatist activist on Canadian soil, doubling down on an allegation that has triggered a diplomatic row and is threatening a deterioration in relations between the two nations.
Trudeau, addressing the matter on Tuesday, emphasized that Canada's intent was not to provoke or escalate the situation but to present the facts as they are. He stressed that his government is committed to following the evidence and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.
The core of the controversy revolves around Canada's claim that the Indian government might have played a role in the June assassination of the prominent Sikh leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar. New Delhi has vehemently denied these allegations, dismissing them as 'absurd and motivated.'
Experts in international relations are now pointing out that this escalating dispute carries the potential to create an unprecedented rift between two significant partners of the United States. Furthermore, it has the potential to place other major Western nations in an uncomfortable diplomatic position.
