Relations between the two countries are getting worse
Let us tell you that the diplomatic dispute between India and Canada deepened further on Tuesday over the issue of the murder of Sikh terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. While Ottawa tried to link the Bishnoi gang to the agents of the Indian government in conducting secret operations in its country, New Delhi rejected the allegations outright. Amid rising tensions between the two countries, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie did not rule out the possibility of imposing sanctions against India and said that ‘all options are under consideration’.
