Canada leveled serious allegations against India's Interior Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday, accusing him of orchestrating plots on Canadian soil against Sikh separatists. This accusation follows Canada's expulsion of six Indian diplomats, linked to the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.

The controversy has even garnered international attention, with the United States expressing concerns over a foiled plot in New York.
