But Modi's attendance is amid growing concerns of foreign intervention and a 2023 investigation into the killing of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly stated that it was done by “a proxy for the Indian government.”
In October 2024, members of the parliamentary committee called for an emergency meeting on allegations of foreign intervention in India after six Indian diplomats and consular officials were fired.
This deportation is “related to the targeted campaign of agents related to the Indian government to target Canadian citizens”.
Tensions put members of Canadian Indian diaspora on the edge, with families and students expressing concerns about travel if the conflict escalates into visa suspension.
India has long denied its involvement in the Nijjar killing and accused Trudeau of pursuing a “political agenda.”
