India took strict action against Canada, expelled 6 diplomats
Tensions have once again escalated between India and Canada. The Indian government had strongly reprimanded on Monday evening and decided to call back its diplomats. At the same time, now India has taken another strict step against Canada. India has expelled 6 Canadian diplomats from the country.
6 Canadian diplomats expelled
India’s Ministry of External Affairs has informed that 6 Canadian diplomats living in India have been expelled. The Ministry of External Affairs has further informed that all the expelled 6 Canadian diplomats have been asked to leave India on or before 19 October 11:59 pm.
These 6 Canadian diplomats will be expelled
- Stewart Ross Wheeler, Acting High Commissioner
- Patrick Hebert, Deputy High Commissioner
- Marie Catherine Joly, First Secretary
- Lan Ross David Trites, First Secretary
- Adam James Chuipka, First Secretary
- Paula Orjuela, First Secretary
What is the whole controversy?
In fact, Canada has linked the Indian High Commissioner and diplomats as persons of interest in the investigation of the Hardeep Singh Nijjar murder case, which India has openly criticized and warned calling it an absurd allegation. The Indian government has also summoned the Deputy High Commissioner of Canada. The Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement on Monday and accused the Canadian government of not sharing evidence of the allegations. India has accused Canadian PM Justin Trudeau of vote bank politics for political gain.
