Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently criticized India for violating Canadian sovereignty, calling it a “horrific mistake” amid a diplomatic dispute over the murder of a Sikh separatist in British Columbia. Trudeau accused New Delhi of refusing to cooperate and escalating the public feud, which led to the expulsion of senior diplomats from both countries. Despite stating that Canada is not seeking a fight with India, Trudeau emphasized the need to respond to ensure Canadians’ safety.
The ongoing tensions involve allegations of threats and violence against Indian exiles, with Trudeau testifying at a public inquiry into foreign interference. He highlighted the seriousness of India’s actions and the impact on Canada’s sovereignty, stressing the importance of protecting citizens. The dispute underscores the delicate nature of international relations and the need for mutual respect between nations.
