India and Canada have expelled each other's diplomats Amid tensions in relations with Canada, India on October 14 expelled 6 Canadian diplomats, including Acting High Commissioner Stewart Ross Wheeler, from the country. Earlier, the Indian Foreign Ministry had also recalled its High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma.

Khalistani terrorist Nijjar was the reason for tension between the two countries, he was murdered last year.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was murdered on 18 June 2023. In September, the Canadian PM had accused India of this murder.
On the evening of June 18, 2023, Nijjar was shot dead while leaving a Gurudwara in Surrey city of Canada. On September 18 last year, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau had accused the Indian government of involvement in Nijjar's murder, which India rejected.
After this, on May 3, three accused of Nijjar's murder were arrested. All three accused are Indians. Canadian police said that the police had been keeping an eye on them for several months. They believe that India had assigned them the task of killing Nijjar. Then India had said on this matter that it is an internal matter of Canada.
Why is Nijjar issue important for Trudeau? Canada holds parliamentary elections in October 2025. Khalistan supporters are considered a big vote bank of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's party. However, last month itself, Khalistan supporter Jagmeet Singh's NDP party, which was part of the Trudeau government, has withdrawn its support.
Due to the break of the alliance, the Trudeau government was reduced to minority. However, in the majority test held on October 1, Trudeau's Liberal Party got the support of another party. Because of this, Trudeau passed the floor test.
