India expels 6 Canadian diplomats, asks them to leave by October 19

In a significant development, India has decided to expel six top Canadian diplomats, including the acting High Commissioner and Deputy High Commissioner. The decision, announced by the Ministry of External Affairs, gives the diplomats until October 19th to leave the country or face withdrawal of their diplomatic immunity. This move comes in response to Canada's request for India's High Commissioner to join investigations into Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder case, a request India found unacceptable. The strained relations between the two countries have been further exacerbated by allegations against Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's party.
