Canada has expelled a senior Indian intelligence official and accused the Indian government of being involved in the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it an "unacceptable violation of our sovereignty." India, in turn, expressed strong concerns about Sikh protesters in Canada. The worsening bilateral ties have led to a freeze in trade talks between the two countries.
Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng is postponing a trade mission to India planned for October, an official said on Friday, reflecting increasingly tense diplomatic relations just days after PM Modi scolded Justin Trudeau at a G20 summit in New Delhi.
