The RCMP is alleging Indian diplomats and consular officials based in Canada engaged in clandestine activities linked to serious criminal activity in this country, including homicides and extortions.
The stunning allegations are the latest in an escalating confrontation between India and Canada that kicked off publicly last year when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada was investigating credible allegations that agents of the Indian government were involved in the killing of a prominent Sikh activist.In an unexpected and unusual press conference Monday, RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme outlined, in broad strokes, the alleged activity of Indian diplomats in Canada.
Two Canadian officials familiar with the fast-evolving situation say Canada asked that India remove the diplomatic immunity of the implicated officials in Canada so that charges could be laid. CTV News is not naming the Canadian officials as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the case. The Indian government is claiming Canada has not shared a"shred of evidence" and accused the Trudeau government of a"deliberate strategy of smearing India for political gains."The Indian government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has long accused Canada of allowing pro-Khalistan"terrorists" to operate in Canada. The Khalistan movement seeks to create a homeland for Sikhs in the Punjab region.
