NEW DELHI: Gurdas Maan, a Punjabi musician, has had his trip to Canada cancelled due to the continuing diplomatic dispute between India and Canada. According to the production company, this is the most responsible and practical course of action at this time. Gurdas Maan’s tour has been cancelled, the production company announced on Facebook. “In light of the current diplomatic unrest between the two countries and after careful consideration and assessment of the unpredictable circumstances, it has been determined that the cancellation of the event is the most responsible and necessary course of action for the time being,” the production house wrote. Between October 22 and October 31, Gurdas Maan was slated to do performances around Canada.But after Canada accused India of killing Hardeep Singh Nijjar there, tensions between the two countries erupted. India rejected the claim and demanded details about it, which according to New Delhi, Ontario never delivered. However, Canada asserted that had delivered the information many weeks ago. As a result of India accusing Canada of meddling in its domestic affairs, Canada began removing its diplomats from India while India suspended its visa services in Canada. India further claimed that militants from the Khalistan region to whom India repeatedly notified Canada were given safe shelter by Canada. One of them was Nijjar, yet Canada treated Nijjar as a leader of a religion.
