Amid an escalating diplomatic dispute over the death of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, India has suspended visa services for Canadian citizens until further notice. The visa services website cited an Indian mission directive that, for operational reasons, Indian visa services in Canada were suspended effective September 21. The move comes as Indian-Canadian relations have frayed over Canada's support for the Khalistani movement. With visa services now halted, tensions between the two countries seem poised to continue rising.
