Canada on Monday said it has expelled six Indian diplomats “in relation to a targeted campaign against Canadian citizens by agents linked to the Government of india
The development came around the same time when India announced the expulsion of six members of the Canadian high commission in Delhi.
“Keeping Canadians safe is the fundamental job of the Canadian government. The decision to expel these individuals was made with great consideration and only after the RCMP gathered ample, clear and concrete evidence which identified six individuals as persons of interest in the Nijjar Case. We continue to ask that the Indian government support the ongoing investigation in the Nijjar case, as it remains in both our countries’ interest to get to the bottom of this,” Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly said in a press release.
