OTTAWA — India has expelled six Canadian diplomats from the country, including Canada's acting high commissioner.
The retaliatory move announced in a release from India's Ministry of External Affairs comes after Canada declared six Indian diplomats, including the high commissioner, persona non grata over allegations of a violent campaign linked to New Delhi. Stewart Wheeler, Canada's acting high commissioner in India, told local media in that country that Canada provided New Delhi with"irrefutable evidence" of ties between Indian government agents and the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.RCMP took the extraordinary step of warning the public about an even wider public safety threat linked to India, after confronting Indian government officials over the weekend.
The RCMP commissioner says they have charged"a significant number" of people with direct involvement in homicides, extortions and other criminal acts of violence over the past few years and they are aware of more than a dozen threats to members of the south Asian community and the pro-Khalistan movement.Laura Osman, The Canadian Press
