India-Canada diplomatic tensions: Diplomatic tension has once again increased between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The Indian government has recalled six Canadian diplomats. Also six Canadian diplomats have been expelled from India. In such a situation, what could be the impact of tension between India and Canada?
Due to this the diplomats were called back
In this matter, former diplomat KP Fabian said that Canada has informed us about the investigation of Hardeep Singh Nijjar case. This means that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police wish to interrogate our High Commissioner. But this is not appropriate anyway, so the Indian government has decided to recall its diplomats.
Relations will not improve as long as Trudeau is the Prime Minister of Canada.
The former diplomat further said, 'The situation between the two countries will get worse. As long as Justin Trudeau is the Prime Minister of Canada, Canada's relations with India will not improve. There are elections in Canada in 2025. Besides, Trudeau's popularity is also continuously declining. Canada's economy is also not in good shape. In such a situation, our relations will improve only when a new government comes there. But now this is not possible.
What will be the impact on Indians living in Canada?
India-Canada tension may have the biggest impact on Indian students. Those who were dreaming of pursuing higher education in Canada and living a good life there will be most affected by this stress. Apart from this, Hindu temples can also be targeted. There is also a danger that Khalistanis may attack Hindus in Canada. At present, about 2 million Canadians of Indian origin are in a state of confusion.
What do Canadians of Indian origin have to say in this matter?
Canadians of Indian origin say that relations between India and Canada are worse than ever between Canada and China or even Canada and Russia. Canadians of Indian origin are concerned that currently 60 to 70 thousand Indian students are already facing deportation. Apart from this, Trudeau's sympathy towards Khalistanis is also increasing the tension between these two countries.
Nijjar was assassinated on 18 June 2023
India has declared Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar a terrorist. He was shot dead outside a gurudwara in British Columbia on June 18, 2023. After this murder, in September, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had accused Indian agents of involvement in Nijjar's murder. India rejected Trudeau's allegations. But from here the relations between India and Canada started deteriorating.
