India said on Tuesday it had expelled a Canadian diplomat with five days' notice to leave the country, just hours after Ottawa expelled the South Asian nation's top intelligence agent and accused it of a role in the murder of a Sikh separatist leader.

India assassinates a Canadian, got caught, and is complaining?

Fuck India and Modi.

When RCMP failed to do their job, blame it on India!

Indian here, this is stupidity and reflect Modi's ongoing silent sweep to extreme nationalism. He's learned fhat the other extremist nationalists we're all about the leaders pomp and ceremony. Modi is more calculated and g8ves the impression of being a reasonable man. This makes him even more dangerous

So somebody murders this Nijjar fella somewhere up near Vancouver. RCMP must have got some clear evidence it was an assassination by India. Cut to ... Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau goes to India for the G20 and tells Modi that his country doesn't appreciate that. Now this. Have I got it right so far?

I think you are right, but Trudeau, I believe, didn't say anything until he came back, if he knew ahead of time. I could be wrong but I don't recall him saying anything while there.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


NEW DELHI, Sept 19 (Reuters) - India said on Tuesday it had expelled a Canadian diplomat with five days' notice to leave the country, just hours after Ottawa expelled the South Asian nation's top intelligence agent and accused it of a role in the murder of a Sikh separatist leader.

The development was the latest in an escalating row between the two nations, with Canada saying on Monday it was "actively pursuing credible allegations" linking Indian government agents to the murder in British Columbia in June.

The Canadian high commissioner, or ambassador, in New Delhi had been summoned and told of the expulsion decision, India's foreign ministry said in a statement.

"The decision reflects the government of India’s growing concern at the interference of Canadian diplomats in our internal matters and their involvement in anti-India activities," the ministry added.

"The concerned diplomat has been asked to leave India within the next five days."

Earlier on Tuesday, India dismissed the Canadian accusation as "absurd and motivated" and urged it instead to take legal action against anti-Indian elements operating from its soil.
