Canada’s Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister, David Morrison, told members of the Parliamentary national security committee that he had shared Shah’s alleged involvement in this campaign with The Washington Post.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser, Nathalie Drouin, told the committee that intelligence gathered by Canada suggests that India collected information on Indian nationals and Canadian citizens through diplomatic channels and proxies, and worked with criminal networks linked to figures like Lawrence Bishnoi to intimidate or harm separatist leaders, reported the Associated Press.

However, a Reuters repot informed that Canada has not released any evidence of Shah’s alleged role in the campaign against Pro-Khalistan separatists.

Drouin, meanwhile, said the information was passed to New Delhi and there was an effort to work with the Indian government to ensure accountability.

She also claimed that a meeting was held with her Indian counterpart Ajit Doval in Singapore two days earlier. However, Canada decided to go public when it became evident the Indian government would not cooperate, she said.
