India-Canada Tensions Surge Over Khalistani Extremists

India lodged a robust protest with Canada over Khalistani extremists who burned an effigy of the Indian PM and held a 'citizens court'. The protest followed a Canadian parliament's moment of silence for a slain Khalistani extremist, exacerbating tensions between the two nations amidst conflicting allegations.

India has lodged a strong protest with Canada over actions by Khalistani extremists, including the burning of an effigy of the Indian Prime Minister outside the Indian consulate in Vancouver, according to authoritative sources.

Officials reported that a diplomatic note was issued to the Canadian high commission, expressing India's serious objections to the activities of Khalistani elements within Canada.

The diplomatic move follows a Canadian parliament observance of a moment of silence for Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani extremist, killed in British Columbia last year. This development has further strained India-Canada relations amidst existing tensions and allegations surrounding Nijjar's death.
