India asks Canada to reduce diplomatic presence, cites 'interference in internal affairs'

The Indian government said that it has asked Canada to downsize its diplomatic presence in India.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs cited the "interference of Canadian diplomats in Indian affairs" as a factor behind the move.

"The Canadian diplomatic presence in India is larger than what India has and accordingly needs to be downsized," foreign ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi told reporters.

"We have informed the Canadian government that there should be parity in diplomatic presence. Their numbers are very much higher than ours in Canada... I assume there will be a reduction," he said.

This comes amid the tensions over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
