India Protests Canadian Allegations Against Minister

News summary

India's foreign ministry has issued a strong protest to Canada over allegations linking Union Home Minister Amit Shah to plots against Sikh separatists in Canada, denouncing these claims as 'absurd and baseless'. The allegations, presented by Canadian officials during a parliamentary session, suggest Shah was involved in a campaign targeting pro-Khalistan activists, prompting India to summon a representative from the Canadian High Commission and deliver a diplomatic note. Indian officials accused the Canadian government of leaking unfounded insinuations to discredit India, asserting that such actions could severely harm bilateral relations. The controversy arises amid heightened tensions surrounding the Sikh community in Canada, which holds significant political relevance. The allegations have been dismissed by India as part of a conscious strategy by Ottawa to influence international perceptions of the Indian government. Canadian officials, however, maintain that they are addressing legitimate security concerns regarding Sikh extremism.
