Top government sources revealed that Canadian diplomats stationed in Chandigarh and other parts of Punjab are allegedly misusing their powers by granting visas to individuals with criminal backgrounds who support the Khalistan cause. The visas are reportedly being issued to support the Khalistan movement's momentum. India also expressed concerns about Canada's refusal to assist in extradition cases and investigations involving individuals who have sought refuge in Canada. Tensions between the two countries escalated, leading to Canada recalling 41 diplomats, triggering a diplomatic standoff.
