British PM Rishi Sunak spoke to Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau, hoping for a de-escalation in the diplomatic row between India and Canada. Trudeau updated Sunak on the standoff over India's alleged link to a Khalistani terrorist's killing. While Sunak reaffirmed respect for sovereignty and rule of law, he sought reduced tensions. This follows Trudeau's Parliament statement on probing Indian agents' role in the murder, rejected by India. The fallout was seen in the UK when pro-Khalistan elements blocked Indian envoy Doraiswami's Glasgow gurdwara visit.
