Ministry of External Affairs’ Firm Response

During a press conference, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated, “Regarding the latest Canadian target, we summoned the representative of the Canadian High Commission yesterday… It was conveyed in the note that the Government of India protests in the strongest terms to the absurd and baseless references made… before the Committee by Deputy Minister David Morrison.”

Background of Allegations and Intelligence Leaks

Two senior Canadian officials recently acknowledged sharing intelligence and sensitive information with international media, suggesting connections between Indian government agents and acts of violence against Sikh separatists, including the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Canadian Deputy Foreign Minister David Morrison alleged before a parliamentary panel that a top official in Modi’s Cabinet was involved in these plots.
