Canada Alleges Indian Minister Amit Shah Behind Plot to Target Sikh Separatists
The Canadian government claimed on Tuesday that Indian Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah, a close ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was involved in plots to target Sikh separatists in Canada.
According to a report by The Washington Post, Canadian officials accused Shah, seen as Modi's second-in-command, of orchestrating a campaign of violence and intimidation against Sikh separatists in the country.
In mid-October, Canada expelled Indian diplomats, linking them to the 2023 assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has charged former Indian intelligence officer Vikash Yadav with allegedly directing a failed plot to assassinate Sikh separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a U.S.-Canadian dual citizen and critic of the Indian government, in New York City.
