India has asked Canada to reduce the number of diplomats stationed in the country from 62 to 21, citing disproportionate representation and alleged interference in India's internal affairs. Arindham Bagchi said Canada has higher diplomatic presence and the two countries are discussing achieving parity. India justified the reduction by noting Canada has much higher diplomatic representation in the country.

The two countries have been engaged in a diplomatic standoff since the accusations by Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
