India Toughens Diplomatic Stance Against Canada

The government today said it had asked Canada to downsize its diplomatic presence in India and cited the "interference of Canadian diplomats in Indian affairs", as the diplomatic row over the killing of a Khalistani terrorist escalated sharply. This was hours after India suspended visa services in Canada, potentially impacting thousands seeking to travel to India. "The Canadian diplomatic presence in India is larger than what India has and accordingly needs to be downsized," the foreign ministry said.
