Khalistani extremist groups getting financial support from Canada: Govt report
Canada's 2025 finance report reveals Khalistani extremist groups exploit charitable donations and diverse funding methods, involving billions of dollars annually, to support politically motivated violence.
- A 2025 report from the Canadian government identified two Khalistani extremist organizations—the Babbar Khalsa and the International Sikh Youth Federation—as recipients of financial support originating within Canada, including funding routed through charitable entities.
- This financial support stems from long-standing pro-Khalistani elements in Canada who use diaspora networks to solicit donations despite these groups being barred from raising funds in multiple countries.
- The report stated these groups previously had extensive fundraising networks within Canada but now consist mainly of smaller pockets of individuals loyal to the cause, often operating without clear group affiliation.
- On June 18, 2024, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service highlighted that extremist Khalistani groups operating within Canada continue to engage in violent actions that threaten national security, as they pursue the establishment of an independent Khalistan in the Punjab region of India.
- These findings reaffirm India's concerns about anti-India activities carried out from Canadian soil and have influenced diplomatic tensions, though officials are working to restore relations with new high commissioner appointments.
