Canada’s Deputy Foreign Minister, David Morrison, has confirmed that he informed The Washington Post about Allegations authorizations by Indian Union Home Minister Amit Shah for violent actions against Sikh separatists on Canadian soil. Morrison testified before the Canadian Parliament’s public safety and national security committee, where MPs sought clarification on recent claims made by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police regarding the involvement of Indian government agents in crimes across Canada.
Indian Government’s Response to Allegations
In response to these allegations, the Indian government has categorically dismissed Canada’s previous claims as baseless. Indian officials have consistently denied any involvement in the matters raised by Canadian authorities. The allegations surfaced following a report from The Washington Post, which stated that Canadian security agencies had gathered evidence implicating a high-ranking Indian official in orchestrating intelligence operations and attacks against Sikh separatists in Canada.

Tension Between Canada and India
The diplomatic relationship between Canada and India has reached a low point over accusations regarding Canada’s perceived support for Khalistani extremists, particularly in light of the recent assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and Khalistani activist. Morrison’s remarks have exacerbated tensions, especially after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicated that credible allegations connected the Indian government to Nijjar’s killing. The Indian government previously expelled a significant number of Canadian diplomats in reaction to these developments.
Ongoing Investigations and Diplomatic Fallout
The ongoing investigation into the allegations has seen involvement from both Canadian and U.S. authorities, with the U.S. charging an Indian national for a failed assassination plot against a pro-Khalistani figure in New York. In a recent testimony, Nathalie Drouin, Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser, claimed to have witnessed evidence linking Indian agents to a series of violent incidents in Canada. The unfolding situation continues to strain diplomatic ties, with India firmly rejecting any notion of wrongdoing regarding its diplomats and high commissioner in Canada.
