'Will have serious consequences', India warns Canada

NEW DELHI: India has strongly condemned the serious accusations made by a Canadian minister against Union Minister Amit Shah, warning that further excessive actions could lead to severe consequences. India issued the warning by summoning a diplomatic official from the Canadian Embassy in Delhi. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal disclosed this information yesterday.

It was Canada's Deputy Foreign Minister David Morrison who levelled the allegations against Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Morrison alleged that Shah had ordered the killing of Khalistani terrorist Nijjar, among other things.

"India views Morrison's statements as baseless and irresponsible, aimed at embarrassing India and influencing other countries. India believes that Morrison is spreading unfounded information to the media as part of the Trudeau government's political agenda," Randhir Jaiswal said.

India expressed disappointment over Canada's cancellation of Diwali celebrations at Parliament Hill, stating it promotes anti-India sentiment.

"Canada is using even celebrations to foster an anti-India atmosphere. There's concern about the safety of Indian students and temporary workers. We're closely monitoring the situation," said Randhir Jaiswal.

Canada calls India a 'cyber threat'
Canada has made another allegation against India, claiming that India is engaging in cyber attacks without providing any evidence. Canada has labelled India as a "cyber threat" with the goal of tarnishing India's reputation globally.

Unwarranted surveillance of Indian diplomats
India has strongly protested against Canada's continued unwarranted surveillance of Indian diplomats, which includes snooping on their visuals and phone calls. This action is a blatant violation of diplomatic and consular norms. India views this as harassment, aimed at intimidating its officials, which will only escalate tensions between the two nations.
