The relationship between India and Canada is once again heading towards severe tension. Last year, three people have been arrested in the case of the murder of pro-Khalistan Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Niger in British Columbia, Canada. India’s role is being discussed in this regard.
Along with this change in the situation, now the commissioner of Ottawa, the capital of Canada, has alleged in a report that the Modi government is trying to influence the Indian community in Canada regarding the Khalistan movement.
According to the report of India Today, the Commissioner of Ottawa says that the Modi government has increased its interference in the electoral affairs of Canada. During the past few months, efforts are being made to influence the Indian-origin community in Canada by targeting the Khalistan movement.
Ottawa’s commissioner says that the atmosphere in Canada is becoming tense due to the Indian government’s attempt to intervene. As a result, the Sikhs and Hindus living in Canada are pulling away from each other. Sikhs are being targeted under the guise of taking a stand against the Khalistan Movement. This situation can also turn into an unusual confrontation.
The Ottawa commissioner’s report also stated that during the last two elections, India made systematic efforts to influence both voters and politicians of Indian origin.
