Nijjar Row: Shashi Tharoor criticises Trudeau’s allegation on India

Amid the ongoing Nijjar row, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor criticised the expulsion of the Indian diplomat from Canada. The strained relationship between India-Canada reached an all-time low after the Canadian PM alleged India’s involvement in Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing. The allegation triggered a political storm as Canada expelled a top Indian diplomat and stated his involvement in Nijjar’s murder. Hours later, India rejected the allegation made by Canada and expelled a Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move.
