On June 18, 2022, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a well-known Sikh community member in Canada, was shot dead, sparking tensions between India and Canada over allegations of state-sponsored assassination.
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated there were credible allegations linking India to Nijjar's murder, marking a significant diplomatic clash and raising concerns about the treatment of Sikhs abroad.
The Canadian police accused Indian diplomats of being involved in targeted assassinations and coercion against the Sikh community, indicating a troubling trend regarding foreign interference.
Hannah Ellis-Petersen highlights that very few Western nations have publicly accused an ally of such severe actions on foreign soil, showcasing India's rising influence.
