Canada has had ‘major problem’ with India following assassination of Sikh leader
ASPI Senior Fellow Mark Watson says Canada has had a “major problem” with India because there was a murder which was allegedly carried out with “some connection” to agents of the Indian government. Last month, the Washington Post reported that in 2020, Australia expelled two officers from the Research and Analysis Wing of India’s foreign intelligence service. It comes after ASIO had previously alleged that a ‘nest of spies’ from an unnamed country sought to cultivate politicians, monitor diaspora communities and obtain classified information. “Canada has had a major problem, much bigger than ours because there was an assassination of a Sikh leader in Canada … and he was assassinated or murdered, allegedly, with some connection to agents of the Indian government,” Mr Watson told Sky News Australia. “That is what was said by the Canadian Prime Minister in Parliament that there were ‘credible allegations’ that the death … [was] connected to ‘agents’ of the Indian government.”
