The ongoing diplomatic tension between India and Canada has reached a new level as India has suspended its visa service in Canada. The Canadian government had previously alleged that Indian authorities were involved in the extrajudicial killing of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil. However, the Indian government vehemently denied these claims and instead accused Canada of sympathizing with anti-India causes.
As a response to the suspension of visa services in Indian offices located in Canada, travel for Canadians has been disrupted. Additionally, the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi has temporarily adjusted its staff presence in India due to perceived threats against its diplomats through social media. The disagreement between the two nations stems from differing interpretations of Sikh activism, with India viewing it as an endorsement of Sikh separatism, while Canada considers it as freedom of expression.
The deepening rift between India and Canada has raised concerns among their closest allies, including Australia, the UK, and the US. The possibility of the Indian government’s involvement in the murder of a Sikh separatist in Canada has led both countries to investigate the matter, creating an atmosphere of unease.
