Trudeau: India made ‘horrific mistake’ in violating Canadian sovereignty

Canada prime minister testifies at public inquiry amid worsening diplomatic row over murder of Sikh separatist

• Why has Canada accused Indian diplomats of ‘criminal’ activities?

Justin Trudeau has accused India of making a “horrific mistake” in violating Canadian sovereignty, amid an escalating diplomatic row over the murder of a Sikh separatist in British Columbia and allegations of a broader campaign of threats and violence against Indian exiles.

Testifying at a public inquiry into foreign interference on Wednesday, the Canadian prime minister accused Delhi of rebuffing efforts to cooperate and causing the increasingly bitter public feud that resulted in the mutual expulsion of senior diplomats on Monday.
