Canada has recently accused Indian Home Minister Amit Shah of orchestrating a campaign of intimidation and violence against Sikh separatists on Canadian soil. Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister David Morrison disclosed to Canada’s national security committee that Shah, a close ally of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is considered responsible for the targeting of Sikh activists, which allegedly includes the assassination of a prominent Canadian Sikh activist.
So far, India has dismissed the allegations as “flimsy” but has not issued an official response to Canada’s recent claims. This new development raises concerns over international relations and the safety of Sikh activists in Canada.
