EAM Jaishankar talked tough on Nov 16 in London, UK as Canadian PM Trudeau’s reiterated allegations against India amid the Nijjar row. EAM Jaishankar categorically stated that no evidence has been provided from the Canadian side in the killing of Nijjar. “If you have reason to make such an allegation, please share the evidence with us,” said Jaishankar. During the conversation, EAM also pointed out ‘fault lines’ of Canadian politics and said it has given space to violent and extreme political opinions. Diplomatic relations between India and Canada soured after PM Trudeau’s allegations against India in killing of Khalistani terrorist Nijjar. However, recently, PM Justin Trudeau toned down and said ‘fight’ with India is not something Canada wants right now. But in the same speech, PM Trudeau stood by his allegations and accused New Delhi of violating the Vienna Convention by "kicking out" 40 diplomats.

Recently, the Indian High Commissioner to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami was prevented from entering a Gurudwara in Glasgow, Scotland. This comes amid a diplomatic row between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. A video of the incident has been doing rounds on the internet, where a man can be seen blocking Doraiswami from entering the Gurudwara. Colin Bloom, former advisor to UK government, said that the Khalistan extremism has escalated due to the inability of Western governments to do enough. Bloom stressed that both the British and Canadian governments should take more proactive measures to address this issue. India has flagged the issue with the UK Foreign Office and also the police, according to sources.
