Canada’s Border Agency The organization says it protects workers who face work-related threats
Canada’s border agency said it is committed to protecting its employees from threats and harassment — if the incidents occur “on the job or as a direct result of their duties.”
The Central Security Services Agency (CBSA) was responding to allegations by officials that the Department abandoned him when India used him in the disform campaign.
In a law filed in Ottawa last week, Sandeep Singh Sidhu, accused by the Indian government, has been labeled as a terrorist and wanted to return to Canada across the political line.
After Canada accused the leader of killing a BC Sikh leader in 2023, the Indian media shot that Sidhu was wanted for a deadly terrorist attack, and was hired by Ottawa.
The news reports that the allegations of the Indian police against the NIA, and used Sidhu’s photo only provided by the Indian government when applying for a travel visa.
The Indian Press Coveration alleged that Canada’s appointment of a suitable person to the national security meeting was “hypocritical” and mitigated Ottawa’s criticism of New Delhi.
A border officer for two decades, Sidhu said he has never been involved in terrorism, and is being used by India because he has a common Sikh name and a visible job in Simh and a visible job in Canada.
Because of these allegations, Sidhu faced threats from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s supporters, including a post from ABBOTRFORD, “go and say,” Go kill him. “

But when Sidhu told the CBSA and sought its help, his superiors told him that the matter was not work-related and refused to provide any assistance, the accused said.
In response to questions about this, the CBSA said in a statement that it had received the case on December 2 and therefore could not comment, but said that it supports its employees when they receive power.
“The Canada Border Services Agency is committed to protecting, supporting, and assisting employees and their families when they face harassment, assault, or threats against them either as a work or a direct result of their work.”
One of the Toronto lawyers representing Sidhu, Jeffrey Kroeker, took issue with the statement, arguing that the Indian government only targeted his client because he wore a CBSA uniform.
“The CBSA knew the risk was real, especially since Mr. Sidhu brought this matter to the attention of the CBSA campaign and because the CBSA campaign was about Canada, he suspected the killing of Canadian land,” he said.
“The CBSA clearly knew that his life was in danger because he was a CBSA officer and wearing a Canadian uniform, and they did nothing to help him.”
The Indian high commission in Ottawa did not respond to requests for comment on the case. Indian news outlets contacted by the global news also did not respond.
The Canadian government cleared Sidhu of India’s accusations, finding there was nothing in them, but he fought to recover from what his lawyers called “a campaign of exchestrated mischform.”
India has tried to portray Canada as an insurgent who supports the independence of what is known as khalistan, the majority of the Punjauluzwe region of South Asia.
Although the Canadian security official only mentions a small number of Khalistan extremists, India has presented the issue as a threat and actions are being sought.
Following the June 18, 2023, murder of Hardh Nijjjar, and a series of other violent crimes linked to Indian lawyers, Canadians expelled diplomats accused of attacks.
But since taking office, Prime Minister Mark Carney has sought to mend ties with India in hopes of negotiating a trade deal with tariffs on Canadian exports.
