Amid Amid escalating situation between India and Canada, a small group of pro-Khalistan supporters staged a protest outside the Indian high commission in Ottawa.

Reports claimed that around 100 pro-Khalistani supporters waved yellow flags marked with the word ‘Khalistan’ on them outside the Indian consulate.

Some pro-Khalistan supporters also burned an Indian flag and protested against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reported news agency Reuters.

One of the protesters belonging to the Khalistani group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) alleged that India “compromised the sovereignty of Canada”, Reuters reported.

The protest was held a week after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made stunning allegations linking India to the killing of Nijjar - who was shot dead in June outside a gurdwara in British Columbia, and triggered a massive diplomatic row. While India has dismissed Canada's accusations calling it “absurd and motivated”, Trudeau's move sparked a tit-for-tat action with each nation expelling diplomats.
