This is the best summary I could come up with:
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly confirmed Thursday that 41 Canadian diplomats have left India after CBC News reported earlier that a large number of them had departed the country overnight.
Joly said Canada will have to pause in-person diplomatic services at the Mumbai, Chandigarh and Bengaluru offices because of the reduced staff complement.
Joly said Thursday that India had said it would remove diplomatic immunity from the 41 Canadians and their families by Friday, a date she called “arbitrary.”
Canadian officials have questioned India’s arithmetic, which they say does not give an accurate picture of the respective sizes of the two diplomatic missions.
Former Canadian diplomat Jeff Nankivell, president of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, agreed that the sanction was extraordinary.
Mike Burgess, head of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), told Australia’s public broadcaster on Wednesday that he had no reason to doubt the allegation that the Indian government was involved in Nijjar’s death.
