MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's main opposition Congress party has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government to take all political parties into confidence regarding worsening ties with Canada a day after the two countries said they expelled each other's diplomats.

Ties deteriorated further on Monday with the expulsions, while Canada linked India's diplomats to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader and accused the South Asian nation of a broader effort to target Indian dissidents in Canada.
