The statement emphasized that no evidence supports such claims and sought to dispel speculation surrounding the matter. The clarification came from Nathalie G. Drouin, Deputy Clerk of the Privy Council and National Security and Intelligence Advisor to the Canadian Prime Minister.

“On October 14, because of a significant and ongoing threat to public safety, the RCMP and officials took the extraordinary step of making public accusations of serious criminal activity in Canada perpetrated by agents of the Government of India.

The Government of Canada has not stated, nor is it aware of evidence, linking Prime Minister Modi, Minister Jaishankar, or NSA Doyal to the serious criminal activity within Canada. Any suggestion to the contrary is both speculative and inaccurate, the statement read.  This statement comes after heightened diplomatic tensions between India and Canada.

Earlier in October, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of conducting covert operations on Canadian soil, which he claimed posed significant risks to public safety.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), according to Trudeau, had gathered credible evidence implicating Indian agents in activities ranging from surveillance and coercion to involvement in serious crimes.  Trudeau called these actions a violation of Canada’s sovereignty and demanded they cease immediately.

India, however, has consistently denied these allegations, describing the accusations as ‘absurd and baseless,” dismissing them as part of a deliberate strategy by Canada to discredit India. (Maxim News)
