Canada has withdrawn 41 diplomats from India amid bilateral tensions over the assassination of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said India formally conveyed its plans to "unethically" revoke diplomatic immunity for all but 21 Canadian diplomats and dependents by Friday. She added that the safety of 41 diplomats and their 42 dependents was at risk.
