There has been much concern over why the Khalistan issue has suddenly flared up in recent times.
In July, India summoned the Canadian High Commissioner to lodge a protest after posters were distributed by pro-Khalistan elements with photos of the Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma and other diplomats as the “the faces of Niijar’s killers”, raising concerns over the safety of Indian diplomats in Canada.
Within India, the revelations have roused debate on whether Canada has a strong case on Indian involvement. There was also incredulity that Canada accused India of a targeted killing. Canadian media reported that Mr Trudeau had also shared this development with his counterparts in Britain, US and France.
The Australian government also said it was “deeply concerned” by the allegations, noting “all countries should respect sovereignty and the rule of law”.
