India Slams Canada's Diplomatic Allegations as 'Preposterous'

India has criticized Canada's claims that its diplomats are 'persons of interest' in an investigation, calling the allegations 'preposterous' and politically motivated. The Ministry of External Affairs stated that these claims harm India-Canada relations and are part of a political agenda by Canada's government.

India has vocally condemned Canada's assertion that its high commissioner and other diplomats are 'persons of interest' in a Canadian investigation, branding these allegations as 'preposterous.' The Ministry of External Affairs released a strongly-worded statement rejecting these claims and attributing them to a political agenda of the Trudeau government.

The Indian government expressed its right to take further measures in response to what it views as concocted accusations, signaling a further deterioration in India-Canada diplomatic relations. India maintains that the main issue is Canada's tolerance of pro-Khalistan activities within its borders.

Prime Minister Trudeau's government has been accused by India of harboring hostility and facilitating extremist elements for political gain. This tension follows allegations made by Trudeau in September regarding possible Indian involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, charges described by India as 'absurd.'
