Canada PM Trudeau says India making life hard for millions of people amid diplomatic crisis

Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday said India's actions are making life very hard for millions of people in India and Canada after Canada confirmed the withdrawal of 41 diplomats from India adding that this will delay the visa services in India. Canada called India's move unreasonable and escalatory as New Delhi asked Ottawa to reduce its diplomatic presence in India -- so that there is a parity as India has a far lesser number of diplomats present in Canada. India also accused these Canadian diplomats of interfering in India's internal affairs. The diplomatic fallout between India and Canada was triggered by Trudeau's public allegation that India had a role in the killing of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India rejected the claim and accused Canada of providing safe haven to terrorists.
