India Rebukes Canada Over Allegations Against Home Minister Amit Shah

India has strongly protested Canada's claims that Home Minister Amit Shah targeted Sikh activists, calling the allegations absurd and baseless.

  • Tensions between India and Canada have escalated following allegations that Indian Home Minister Amit Shah orchestrated violence against Sikh activists in Canada.
  • India's Ministry of External Affairs summoned a Canadian diplomat to formally protest the accusations and handed over a diplomatic note.
  • The allegations, initially reported by The Washington Post, were confirmed by Canada's Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister David Morrison during a parliamentary committee hearing.
  • India has accused Canada of leaking unfounded claims to the media as part of a strategy to discredit India, warning of serious consequences for bilateral relations.
  • The diplomatic row has intensified after prior accusations linking Indian agents to the 2023 killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, which India has consistently denied.
