Hours after Canada expelled a top Indian diplomat over the Indian government’s alleged involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the leader of the Khalistan separatist movement and a Canadian citizen, New Delhi responded in kind.
The Canadian high commissioner was summoned by the Indian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday morning and was informed about New Delhi’s decision to expel a senior Canadian diplomat based in India. He has been asked to leave the country within the next five days, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
