India complains that pro-Khalistanists in Canada are carrying out separatist activities against Delhi. Canada has never acknowledged this accusation. This time, the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a different tone about Khalistanists.

India-Canada relations have hit rock bottom since the murder of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. After that, Trudeau's various comments about this murder and the relationship between the two countries became even more bitter. A few days ago, both countries expelled each other's six diplomats.

Khalistanists attacked Hindu devotees in a Canadian temple on Sunday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned the incident as a 'cowardly attack'. After this, the opposite tone was heard in Trudeau's voice about the Khalistanists.

Just a day later, Trudeau said at the Diwali festival organized in the Parliament of Canada on Monday, "There is no place for violence, intolerance, intimidation and division in this country. People of different communities live here. We always encourage them to follow their culture. Khalistani has many supporters in Canada. But they do not represent the Sikh community. Modi government also has many supporters in Canada. But they do not represent Hindus living in Canada as a whole. '

Earlier, Indian Prime Minister Modi wrote on his X handle, 'I strongly condemn the attack on the Hindu temple in Canada. Intimidating our diplomats with this attack is a cowardly move. Thus India's resolve cannot be weakened. We hope the government of Canada will take swift action to punish the culprits. will ensure the rule of law.'

Notably, diplomatic relations between India and Canada have been strained since Trudeau accused Indian agents of killing Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar during his speech to the Canadian Parliament in September last year. India has strongly denied the allegations, saying Canada's allegations have not been substantiated by any credible source.

India claims that Trudeau is speaking on behalf of Khalistan supporters in Canada for his political reasons. Elections are due in October 2025 in Canada and Trudeau wants the Sikh community living in Canada to support him.
