India Protests Canada’s Allegations Against Amit Shah

Tensions between India and Canada have escalated following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations implicating Indian Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The Indian government has strongly protested these claims, labeling them 'absurd and baseless', and accused Canada of surveillance on Indian consular staff. BJP Punjab Vice President Fateh Singh Bajwa condemned the accusations, suggesting they are politically motivated and harmful to Indian students in Canada. The allegations come amid a broader concern regarding the safety of Sikh activists in Canada, which Ottawa claims are under threat from Indian authorities. In response, India has summoned a Canadian diplomat and warned of serious consequences for bilateral relations. Both nations have expelled diplomats amidst the ongoing dispute, highlighting a significant diplomatic rift.
