India expels diplomat after Canadian assassination claims

"Hours after Canada expelled a top Indian diplomat over the Indian government’s alleged
involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the leader of the Khalistan separatist movement and a
Canadian citizen, New Delhi responded in kind.
The Canadian high commissioner was summoned by the Indian Foreign Ministry and was informed about New Delhi’s decision to expel a senior Canadian diplomat based in India. He has been asked to leave the country within the next five days, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
India’s decision reflected its “growing concern at the interference of Canadian diplomats in our internal matters and their involvement in anti-India activities,” the statement added.
New Delhi’s move comes in response to Canada’s expulsion of Pavan Kumar Rai, the head of the Research and Analysis Wing of India’s external intelligence agency, amid allegations linking the Indian government to the assassination of a Khalistan activist in June.
Reacting to the accusations, India strongly rejected the Canadian government’s claims, calling them “absurd.” RT

to never

Poles again, returning to harsh rhetoric towards Kyiv after the Polish president had sought to defuse a simmering dispute between the two countries over the issue of Ukrainian grain imports.
Zelenskyy angered his neighbours in Warsaw – a key military ally against Russia – when he told the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week that Kyiv was working to preserve land routes for its grain exports amid a Russian blockade of the Black Sea, but that “political theater” around grain imports was helping Moscow’s cause."
