Amid a diplomatic dispute between Canada and India, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has restated his claim that India breached the Vienna Convention, following the relocation of more than 40 Canadian diplomats. Responding to a media query on Saturday, Trudeau said that Canada wants to “work constructively” with India on the “serious matter” of the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil and said his country “will always stand up to the rule of law.”He said, “We have been very, very clear that we want to work constructively with India on this very serious matter. From the very beginning, we shared the real allegations that we are deeply, deeply concerned about. But we have reached out to the Indian government and to partners around the world to get to the bottom of this, and to take it seriously. “
“That’s why we were so disappointed when India violated the Vienna Convention and arbitrarily revoked the diplomatic immunity of over 40 Canadian diplomats in India,” Trudeau said.
