ISLAMABAD - Diplomatic tensions between Canada and India have spiralled out of control, resulting in the mutual expulsion of senior dip­lomats. Nijjar, a leader in the Khalistan movement and Sikh for Justice, was fatally shot in broad day­light in Vancouver in June. Pannu, the found­er of the Khalistan move­ment, vows Sikh retaliation against India’s RAW intel­ligence. He notes that over a million Sikhs have already voted in favour of the Khalistan movement referendum. In a retalia­tory move, the Indian gov­ernment expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in New Delhi in response to the Ot­tawa expulsion.
