In a dramatic turn of events, India on Monday  October 14 decided to  withdraw its High Commissioner and other senior diplomats and officials who were earlier declared by the  Canadian government as “persons of interest” because of their alleged role in the 2023 killing of pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.

The announcement was made soon after the Secretary (East) of the MEA summoned Stewart Wheeler, Chargé d’affaires of the High Commission of Canada and said the recent actions of the Justin Trudeau government had “endangered” the “safety” of the Indian diplomats stationed in Canda.
