Canada has expelled six Indian diplomats, including the high commissioner.
A senior government official with knowledge of the situation says the expulsions come as Canada has evidence of ongoing violent criminal activity linked to the Indian government.
Angry India accuses Canada of ‘preposterous’ investigation
India has reacted angrily after being told by Canada that its ambassador and other diplomats were named as “persons of interest” in an investigation in the country.
The foreign ministry in Delhi said it received the news in a diplomatic communication from Canada on Sunday, and reserved the right to respond. “The Government of India strongly rejects these preposterous imputations,” it said.
The statement refers to allegations last year by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the Indian government may have been behind the killing of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil. Delhi has repeatedly rejected the allegation.
Trudeau is a disaster at home or abroad.
