The ongoing diplomatic row between India and Canada was sparked by the June 2023 murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, adding fuel to existing tensions.
Canada expelled Indian high commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma and five other diplomats, a response to what it sees as a campaign of violence against Sikh separatists by India.
India, in retaliation, announced it would expel six Canadian diplomats, escalating the ongoing diplomatic spat over accusations related to support for Sikh separatism.
The conflict has deeper roots, with historical grievances tied to India's view of Canada's support for the Khalistan movement, which aims for an independent Sikh state.
