Diplomatic Tensions Soar: India Rebukes Canada Over Allegations

Relations between India and Canada have deteriorated after Canada linked Indian diplomats to a Sikh extremist's murder investigation. India calls the claims baseless, accusing Canada of political maneuvering. The tensions echo past grievances, including Canadian interference in Indian politics and unchecked extremist threats in Canada.

The strained diplomatic relations between India and Canada worsened as Ottawa accused a senior Indian diplomat of involvement in a murder investigation. The Indian government dismissed these accusations, labeling them as politically motivated.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) responded strongly, criticizing the allegations against High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma as unfounded and part of a political agenda by Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, aimed at appealing to specific voter bases.

The MEA also highlighted past incidents, accusing Canada of interfering in Indian politics and harboring anti-India extremists. The situation raises concerns over the safety of Indian diplomats and questions Canada's handling of its internal foreign interference issues.
