India-Canada diplomatic relations after Canadian PM Trudeau’s allegation against India have reached an all-time low. Trudeau claimed of having “credible allegations of potential link between agents of India in killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar”. While addressing an event in Delhi, US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti spoke up on the Nijjar row. Garcetti said that Canada is a dear friend and United States deeply cares for Canada just as it cares for India. Speaking on India-US relations after Trudeau’s allegation Garcetti said, “These moments don`t define our relationship, but they certainly can slow down progress”. Thereafter, speaking on the criminal investigation of Nijjar’s murder case Garcetti said that he is not going to tell leaders of both countries what to do. Earlier today, India issued a travel advisory and urged its citizens in Canada to “exercise utmost caution” for those who contemplating travel. Hardeep Singh Nijjar, for whom Trudeau is raising his voice, was a designated terrorist of Khalistan Tiger Force. Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Nijjar was shot dead outside a Gurudwara in Canada’s Surrey in June 2023.
