There is no softness in the attitude of Trudeau government, Canadian Foreign Minister said- rest of India's diplomats are also on notice

Toronto: Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie on Friday said Indian diplomats remaining in the country are also “clearly on notice” after the Indian High Commissioner in Ottawa was named as a suspect in the killing of a Sikh separatist leader. Jolie said the government will not tolerate any diplomat who violates the Vienna Convention or puts the lives of Canadians at risk.

India on Monday expelled six Canadian diplomats and announced it was recalling its high commissioner to Canada. Earlier, India had rejected Canada's allegations of linking his name to the investigation of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder. But Canada said it had expelled six Indian diplomats.

Comparing India to Russia, Jolie said Canada's national police force has linked Indian diplomats to murder, death threats and intimidation in Canada. In Montreal he said that we have never seen anything like this in our history. This level of international repression cannot occur on Canadian soil. We have seen this elsewhere in Europe. Russia has done this in Germany and Britain and we must stand firm on this issue.
