Indo-Canada relations have deteriorated as Canada refuses to take action against radical Sikhs and terror cells, leading to strained ties with India. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau s accusations of the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil have exacerbated the situation. However, Canada has not provided any evidence to support these claims. India has provided specific information on organized crime and leadership operating out of Canada, including extradition requests.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged India to cooperate with a Canadian investigation into the murder of a Hardeep Singh Nijjar during a meeting with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
