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.
