India has requested Canada to recall several dozen diplomats from its missions in the country, citing the need for "parity in strength and rank equivalence" in mutual diplomatic presence. The move follows a diplomatic row sparked by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegation linking Indian agents to the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. A report by Financial Times said Canada had 62 diplomats in India and India has asked for this figure to be reduced by 41 people, with a deadline of October 10. This escalation comes amid strained relations between the two nations following the Nijjar case.
