On Friday, the United Kingdom reaffirmed its position against the decisions taken by India that resulted in 41 Canadian diplomats departing the nation earlier this week amid a dispute over the murder of a Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
The UK foreign ministry said, “We do not agree with the decisions taken by the Indian government that have resulted in a number of Canadian diplomats departing India.”
Canada has alleged Indian involvement in the June killing of Canadian citizen and Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whom India called a “terrorist.”
India denies the allegation.
