This issue caused a lot of controversy. Earlier, in 2020, india declared Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the leader of the Khalistan tiger Force, as a terrorist for planning to kill a Hindu priest in Punjab.

In this background, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau came to india to attend the G20 Summit. As a result, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, speaking in the Canadian Parliament, accused the indian government of being behind the murder of Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijar, and canada also expelled the indian ambassador.
