India has strongly dismissed the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's (CSIS) allegations of foreign interference, calling them baseless. The Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasized that India's policy does not involve meddling in other nations' internal matters. He pointed out that the same CSIS report acknowledges the presence of Khalistani extremist groups in Canada, which pose a national security threat to both India and Canada. The report, released ahead of the 40th anniversary of the Air India Flight 182 bombing, highlights the involvement of these groups in violent activities and their fundraising efforts that support extremism. Jaiswal reiterated India's call for Canada to address the activities of anti-India elements operating from its territory, especially in light of recent tensions following accusations against India regarding the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. The CSIS has clarified that only a small faction of individuals promoting violence are considered Khalistani extremists, while non-violent advocacy is not categorized as extremism.
