This comes as a part of the investigation into the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He was assassinated on June 18, 2023, and Canada has since then accused India of playing a role in the alleged crime. | (Pic: Wikimedia Commons)

The Canadian government named Indian diplomat Sanjay Verma as a "person of interest" in the investigation of Nijjar's death, which has triggered the withdrawal and expulsion of the diplomates from India and Canada | (Pic: Indian in Canada)

India has recalled its High Commissioner from Canada and summoned and expelled six Canadian diplomats. The six Canadian diplomats have been asked to leave India by or before 11.59 pm on Saturday, October 19, 2024 | (Pic: India in Canada)

Ajit Doval, the National Security Adviser (NSA), met his Canadian counterpart in secret last week, according to information published by the Washington Post that cited unnamed Canadian sources. Doval allegedly rejected claims regarding Nijjar's passing, referring to them as "preposterous imputations" and linking them to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's "political agenda." | (Pic: Ajit Doval)

Ever since the killing of Nijjar, the ties between both countries have been tense. Now, with the withdrawals and expulsions, the relationship seems to have become even more difficult | (Pic: PM Narendra Modi)

With a cut in student permits every year, Indian students might need to replace Canada with other options for higher education abroad. Also, now, with such political tensions, several Indians have urged the Indian government to get their children back | (Pic: EdexLive)
