India Ask Canada To Withdraw Its 40 Diplomats By Oct. 10
Delhi/Hyderabad, Oct 3 (Maxim News): India is learned to have told Canada to withdraw its 40 diplomats from the country by October 10 amid worsening ties between the two nations, according to reports.
The reports have said that New Delhi has conveyed to Canada that if the diplomats are not withdrawn by the deadline, they will lose their diplomatic immunity. There are more than 60 Canadian diplomats posted in India.
Last month, after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had alleged in Parliament that Indian intelligence agents may have been involved in the murder of Sikh pro-Khalistan hardliner Hardeep Singh Ijjar, the diplomatic relations hit an all-time low between the two nations. Following Trudeau’s allegations, both the countries had expelled a diplomat each. India had also termed Canada’s allegations as “politically driven”.
On September 21, while replying to questions related to a possible reduction of Canadian diplomats stationed in India, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said. “Yes, we’ve informed the government of Canada that there should be parity in strength in our mutual diplomatic presence. Their number is very much higher than ours in Canada. I assume there will be a reduction from the Canadian side. ” Nijjar was shot dead outside a Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, on June 18 by masked gunmen.
The reports have said that New Delhi has conveyed to Canada that if the diplomats are not withdrawn by the deadline, they will lose their diplomatic immunity. There are more than 60 Canadian diplomats posted in India. (Maxim News)
