India vs Canada Diplomatic Row: Canada Withdraws Diplomats| India Revokes Immunity | Oneindia News
Canada has withdrawn 41 diplomats from India amid a diplomatic row over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. India planned to revoke diplomatic immunity for all but 21 of Canada's diplomats, prompting Ottawa to withdraw the remaining personnel. Relations between the two nations soured after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau linked Indian intelligence to Nijjar's killing, a claim India denied. The move to revoke diplomatic immunity for 41 diplomats is considered unprecedented and against international law. #DiplomaticCrisis #CanadaIndiaRelations #DiplomaticImmunity #InternationalLaw #KhalistaniTerrorist #IndiaCanadaDispute #DiplomaticWithdrawal #ForeignAffairs #BilateralRelations #PoliticalTensions ~HT.98~GR.122~ED.101~
