India described the accusation as absurd. It also said canada can expect its number of diplomats in india to be reduced. Indias Foreign Ministry spokesman was asked how the dispute was affecting indias reputation. One, any country that needs to look at this, i think it is canada and its growing reputation as a place, as a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists and for organised crime. And i think thats a country that needs to worry about its international reputation. At the heart of this issue are calls for an independent homeland for sikhs in indias Northern State of punjab. Its known as the Khalistan Movement. Sikhs form a majority of punjab s population, but are a minority in the rest of india. There have been calls for an independent state to be formed there for some time, with the movement reaching its pe
