Diplomatic tensions between India and Canada..!?
With the vote bank politics of the Trudeau government, the debate has come to the fore that the diplomatic relations between india and canada have worsened. The main reason for this is the key developments that took place on Monday. In this context, delhi has become serious about Canada's work. Canada's behavior is completely wrong. Yes... Relations with india are facing severe ups and downs due to Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau's attitude. Recently, canada named several diplomats, including indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, as "Persons of Interest" (suspects) in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Najjar. india strongly denied this.
In the same order... the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated in a statement that there is evidence that prime minister Trudeau of that country has been adopting a confrontational attitude with india since 2018. At the same time, it brought to light something that mirrored his attitude. As a part of this... it was recalled that he included those who opposed separatism with india in his cabinet. In addition to this, Trudeau has tried to directly interfere in indian politics in 2020. At the same time... the indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, who is being accused by canada, has 36 years of diplomatic experience.
In the wake of the latest developments, india has decided to expel six diplomats, including Canada's Acting High Commissioner in Delhi. A deadline has been set for all of them to leave india by 11:59 pm on the 19th of this month. With this... canada has also decided to expel six indian diplomats! On the other hand, during the 21st Asian Conference in Laos, there were reports that indian prime minister Modi and Canadian prime minister Trudeau met! However, india has made it clear that there was no discussion between them except that both of them data-faced each other in those meetings.
Sanjay Kumar Verma is an indian Foreign service (IFS) officer of the 1998 batch. He completed his graduation from patna University and later pursued higher education from IIT Delhi. After joining the IFS, he provided diplomatic services in Hong Kong, Vietnam, China, Turkey, and Italy. Later he served as Joint Secretary and Additional Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs of India. In this context, he took charge as the indian High Commissioner in canada in september 2022. He has three decades of diplomatic experience. But the latest accusations from the government of canada are without evidence! It is known that terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed in canada in june last year. After this murder, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau commented that the hand of indian agents was behind this incident. With this... these comments led to diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
