'Baseless Imputations': India Rejects Canadian Spy Agency's Foreign Interference Claims, Urges Action Against Khalistanis
India said the CSIS report confirms Canada-based extremist groups pose a national security threat and misuse democratic freedoms to fund violent activity.
- On Thursday, MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal rejected Canadian Security Intelligence Service allegations of foreign interference, labeling them "baseless imputations" and asserting India does not interfere in other nations' internal affairs.
- The CSIS annual report, released last week, alleged India alongside China, Russia, Iran, and Pakistan were "main perpetrators of foreign interference" and warned of "violent extremist activities" by Canada-based Khalistani extremists.
- Jaiswal noted the report acknowledges groups "misuse democratic freedoms and institutions to promote extremism and raise funds that are diverted towards violent activities," using Canadian territory as a "safe haven."
- India has repeatedly urged Ottawa to take effective action against "anti-India extremist elements" operating from its soil, including addressing violence glorification, threats against diplomats, and attempts to promote secessionism through "referendums."
- Addressing the media, Jaiswal stressed concerns should be resolved through "established mechanisms" rather than "politicised or public narratives," as tensions persist regarding Khalistanis in Canada.
