<h5>What is happening between India and Canada?</h5><p>A few months back, a Khalistani leader was shot dead in Canada. Recently, Canada’s Prime Minister (PM) Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of having a hand in assassinating the leader, a Canadian citizen.</p><p>The PM said that any government's involvement in the killing of a Canadian person in Canada was intolerable. As a result, a senior Indian diplomat was recently expelled from Canada. Trudeau said he discussed the killing with PM Narendra Modi during the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/g20-summit-2023-held-in-delhi">G20 summit</a> and requested cooperation.</p><h5>What is India’s response to the accusation?</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/the-drama-between-india-and-canada%2FTrudeau.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=c91666f8-7a71-4e5c-818e-e43403cc2f40"><figcaption>Justin Trudeau talking with other leaders during the G20 Summit.

MEA further denied any claims made by the Canadian PM to PM Modi about the killing. The Indian government also expelled a senior Canadian diplomat from the country.</p><p>The Khalistan movement began in the 1940s, around India’s independence. The movement aims to establish a separate state for Sikhs in Punjab (remember, many Punjabis are against this and support India). The Indian government is against this and has asked many countries (including Canada) to act against the group’s members staying in their countries.</p><p>All these have caused diplomatic relations to worsen between India and Canada.</p><h5>What do you mean by diplomatic relations?</h5><p>You have a group of friends, right? Imagine them as different countries. The countries, like people, can have other interests, beliefs, ways of doing things, etc. Diplomatic relations are friendships between countries, just like friendship among your friends.</p><p>Diplomatic relations include visiting each other, peacefully solving problems, respecting each other's beliefs and boundaries, etc. Diplomatic relations are essential for countries to maintain peace among each other. No one wants to fight against the other as it only harms the growth and development of the nations.</p><p>However, sometimes diplomatic relations can turn sour for various reasons, like political differences, arguments, international conflicts, accusations, etc. When diplomatic relations worsen, countries can take steps like recalling or expelling diplomats, cutting diplomatic connections, stopping trade, etc. This isn’t good for anyone and can also negatively impact other nations.</p><p>Let’s hope India and Canada can resolve this issue and uphold good diplomatic relations.</p>
