Amidst escalating tensions between India and Canada over the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Canada has evacuated most of its diplomats in India to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. India demanded the reduction of Canadian diplomatic staff by October 10 to achieve parity, following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations linking Indian agents to Nijjar's killing. India rejected the claims, expelling a Canadian diplomat in retaliation. India emphasized the need for diplomatic strength parity, asserting that some Canadian diplomats interfered in its internal matters. Discussions on mutual diplomatic presence are ongoing, with no indication of India reconsidering its stance.
