Since making these claims, Canada has not provided any evidence to back them up, which India labels as "absurd" and "baseless." As the situation escalates, Trudeau has sought support from the UK Prime Minister, but the relationship between the two countries remains strained, with both sides exchanging accusations and standing firm on their positions.
