The Indian government summoned a Canadian diplomat shortly after rejecting Ottawa's claim that the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats were 'persons of interest' in the investigation into the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India strongly denied these allegations, accusing the Trudeau government of engaging in vote-bank politics and not doing enough to address separatist elements within Canada. The Indian government stated that the Canadian government had not provided any evidence of India's involvement in Nijjar's killing, despite repeated requests.

The Canadian government has not provided any proof to the Indian government, despite many requests, regarding the allegations made by Prime Minister Trudeau in September 2023. This latest action follows a pattern of making claims without any supporting evidence. This strongly suggests that the investigation is being used as a pretext to intentionally damage India's reputation for political gains. The relationship between India and Canada deteriorated in September last year when Prime Minister Trudeau accused the Indian government of being involved in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. New Delhi dismissed these charges as "motivated and absurd".
