Justin Trudeau admitted that while Khalistani supporters exist in Canada, they do not represent the Sikh community at large.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India condemned violent protests that erupted in a Canadian city over the weekend as the conflict between their two countries appears to be spilling over into the streets of the Great White North.

In October, the Canadian authorities provoked India by naming the Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Verma as a“person of interest” in their probe into Nijjar's killing. New Delhi retaliated by summoning Ottawa's Charge d'Affaires and lodging a strong protest, before withdrawing the Indian envoy and expelling six Canadian diplomats.
