Indian Foreign Interference in Canada

The British Columbia Gurdwaras Council (BCGC) and Ontario Gurdwaras Committee (OGC) jointly released a public report today which documents Indian foreign interference and clandestine activities in Canada. The detailed accounts extensively cite Canadian media sources, Government officials, and security agencies which indicate that Indian intelligence agencies and diplomats have targeted Canadian media outlets with disinformation, electoral processes across the country, as well as a number of elected officials.

While there has been particular attention paid to China and Russia in the context of foreign interference, it is imperative that Canada pay even closer attention to supposed allies, like India, who actively seek to manipulate public discourse and policy in Canada to secure their own policy objectives. This is particularly important when Indian officials continue to make inflammatory public statements in a manner suggesting quid pro quo for criminalizing political expression that is contrary to Indian interests.
