India may be willing to conduct further covert action in the West that likely prompts occasional challenges to diplomatic relations and security cooperation, but more consequential, longer-lasting ruptures between the two sides remain unlikely. On Oct. 19, Canada announced that it had recalled 41 of its diplomats from India after the Indian government threatened to revoke their diplomatic immunity, and said that some in-person Canadian consular services in certain Indian cities would consequently be temporarily suspended or disrupted. The move was the latest in the diplomatic fallout after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sept. 18 announced Canadian security agencies were "actively pursuing credible allegations" that "agents of the government of India" were potentially involved in the killing of Canadian citizen and Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.
