India ‘decided not to cooperate’ as New Delhi, Ottawa expels 6 diplomats each: Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in Ottawa on Monday that the Canadian government has expelled six Indian diplomats from Canada because New Delhi refused to cooperate in criminal investigations. The move came shortly after India expelled six Canadian diplomats, as part of an escalating dispute over the June 2023 killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. “Despite repeated requests to the government of India, it has decided not to cooperate,” Trudeau said.
