New allegations, old wounds: India rejects Canada’s accusations as diplomatic crisis worsens

Diplomatic tensions between India and Canada have deepened following Ottawa’s fresh allegations that Indian agents are involved in covert operations on Canadian soil, using criminal gangs like the Bishnoi gang to target pro-Khalistani elements. India has strongly rejected the claims, calling them baseless. Both sides have taken significant diplomatic actions, with Canada expelling six Indian diplomats and India withdrawing its high commissioner. The situation reflects a further deterioration in relations, with no clear resolution in sight.
