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.

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.
