Relations between India and Canada have deteriorated significantly over the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Recently the Canadian government had linked the murder case to the Indian High Commissioner.
After making these allegations without any evidence, India took strict action and sent back the Canadian ambassadors. Apart from this, citing the security of Indian ambassadors in Canada, they were also called back.
Cameron McKay, former High Commissioner of Canada to India, has spewed venom against the Indian government. Making fabricated allegations, he said that Nijjar’s murder and the failed attempt to murder Gurpatwant Singh Pannu were ‘one and the same’.
Were part of the conspiracy. He said that it is a mistake for the Indian government to think that it can commit crimes in Canada and America and still get away with it.
Cameron McKay had left India in August this year. In an interview with CBC News, Mackey said both Canada and the United States are investigating the matter.

New Delhi expelled Canadian High Commission charge d’affaires Stewart Wheeler and five other diplomats following new allegations by Ottawa of Indian government involvement in Nijjar’s killing on Canadian soil last year. Canadian diplomats left Delhi on Friday evening.
India has also recalled its High Commissioner and five other diplomats from Canada and they are also returning to India. The Canadian government had said that Indian diplomats have been expelled from the country.
India has categorically rejected all allegations made by Ottawa in the case related to Nijjar’s murder. Nijjar was declared a terrorist in India.
In an interview with a Canadian broadcaster, Mackey alleged that Nijjar’s murder and the failed assassination attempt on Pannu in the US were linked.
McKay’s fabricated allegations
“The chargesheet and charges filed yesterday in the US, and the chargesheet issued before that on November 29, 2023, all point to a single conspiracy originating from Delhi to murder multiple individuals across North America, Canada and the US,” Mackey claimed. Gives a detailed picture.
“If you combine those two charges with the evidence released and the comments made by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Monday, you get a really, really clear picture of what happened in the last one,” he said. What has been happening since last year?
The US has accused former Indian government official Vikas Yadav of involvement in an alleged failed plot to assassinate Pannu on American soil last year.
India has constituted a high technical committee to investigate the allegations. The US Attorney’s Office in New York on Thursday said it has charged Yadav with attempted murder of Pannu and conspiracy to commit money laundering with the help of hired criminals.
In September last year, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had alleged that Indian agents were probably involved in Nijjar’s murder.
Relations between India and Canada came under extreme strain following his allegations. At the same time, New Delhi rejected Trudeau’s allegations as “absurd”.
