The Canadian government has leveled serious accusations against India's Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah, claiming he orchestrated plots targeting Sikh separatists on Canadian soil. This claim further escalates existing diplomatic tensions between the two nations.

Though India has categorically denied these charges, dismissing them as unfounded, the allegations have not only strained India-Canada relations but also have the potential to affect broader geopolitical dynamics. The accusations were initially reported by The Washington Post and have sparked a significant diplomatic row.

Complicating the situation further, a former Indian intelligence officer faces charges in the U.S. linked to a separate plot against a Sikh separatist leader. Meanwhile, diplomatic expulsions have taken place, underscoring the severity of the diplomatic fallout. Washington's silence on the matter adds another layer of intrigue and concern to this international incident.
