The United States and the United Kingdom have expressed concern over India's demand for Canada to reduce its diplomatic presence, following allegations related to the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Both nations urged India to cooperate with Canada's ongoing investigation and uphold diplomatic norms outlined in the 1961 Vienna Convention. While the US and the UK value their ties with India as a counterbalance to China, their direct criticism signifies a significant stance in the diplomatic row. Canada withdrew 41 diplomats from India in response to New Delhi's demand, temporarily suspending in-person operations in several Indian cities and warning of visa processing delays.
