Indian- Canadian diplomatic row has heightened for the past couple of weeks. Justin Trudeau Canadian Prime Minister has accused India of murdering Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh Separationist in Canada. India rejected the allegation and sought specific information regarding the allegation which New Delhi claimed was never provided by Ontario. India also countered back by alleging that Canada has provided a haven to Khalistani extremists about whom India has alerted Canada several times.
