The assassination accusation of Hardeep Singh Nijjar sent relations between the two nations plummeting and holds ramifications for the U.S.-led alliance to confront China.
NEW DELHI — India on Tuesday expelled a Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move after Canadian officials accused Indian government operatives of gunning down a Sikh leader in British Columbia and threw out an Indian diplomat they identified as an intelligence officer.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was designated a terrorist by Indian security agencies in 2020 and accused of planning attacks inside India’s Punjab state, which is home to about 16 million Sikhs. The Khalistan movement he was part of seeks to form a breakaway state in the Punjab region called Khalistan and has supporters both within India and among the large global Sikh diaspora.
