Trudeau’s words caused a crisis on the line between Canada and India

Canada and India mutually decided to expel their senior diplomats following the dispute that erupted following the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, leader of the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), the Sikh separatist organization in India.

Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly announced the deportation of a senior Indian diplomat after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the New Delhi government was behind Nijjar’s murder. Joly stated that she expects India’s “full cooperation” in investigating the incident and claimed that Trudeau discussed the issue with US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
