Each nation has expelled one of the other’s diplomats in an escalating row.
NEW DELHI: India urged caution today by its nationals in Canada, and those planning to visit, as relations deteriorated after each nation expelled one of the other’s diplomats in an escalating row over the murder of a Sikh separatist leader.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has rejected outright Canada’s suspicions that New Delhi’s agents had links to the murder. Canadian officials have so far declined to say why they believe India could be linked to Nijjar’s murder. Khalistan is the name of an independent Sikh state whose creation was the goal of a bloody Sikh insurgency in the 1980s and 1990s in India’s northern state of Punjab, during which tens of thousands were killed.
Although there is hardly any support for the insurgency left in India, small groups of Sikhs in Australia, Britain, Canada and the US support the separatist demand and occasionally stage protests outside its embassies.
