CSIS in its 2024 annual report has confirmed India’s long-standing concerns and acknowledged the presence of Khalistani extremists in Canada.
Finally, Canada has also accepted that Khalistani terrorists are spreading violence in India while sitting in Canada. The Indian government has been saying this for a long time, but the former Trudeau government did not pay attention to it, but now the government led by Mark Carney in Canada has admitted that Khalistanis are using Canada to spread violence in India.
