On Tuesday, the Canadian government alleged that Indian Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah, a close ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was behind plots to target Sikh separatists on Canadian soil. The Indian government has denied these accusations, dismissing them as baseless.
Canadian officials claimed that Shah, considered the second most powerful figure in the Modi government, orchestrated a campaign of violence and intimidation against Sikh separatists in Canada. Canadian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister David Morrison confirmed Shah's alleged involvement to a parliamentary panel.
