"Diplomatic Shock Waves: India-Canada Row Over Sikh Killing Turns Very Messy"

A diplomatic row has erupted between India and Canada after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of involvement in the assassination of a Sikh separatist in Canada. Canada expelled a top Indian diplomat in response, prompting India to expel a Canadian diplomat and suspend all visa applications for Canadians. The accusations have shocked analysts, as foreign killings have not historically been part of India's intelligence playbook. The allegations could have implications for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as the country's external intelligence agency, RAW, reports directly to his office. The diplomatic fallout may also impact other countries caught between their alliances with Canada and India.
