Intercepted Communications Link the Indian government to the killing of BC leader Simh
Negotiations between Canada and the United Kingdom are implicating high-ranking Indian officials in the killing of a BC Sikh leader, world news has confirmed.
British Intelligence provided Canada with the first tip that it took communication and communication with the Indian government on the 2023 shooting death of jjjar.
The Canadian authorities later found their own and opposed the involvement of Indian officials, among them Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah.
The observed conversations, and other evidence, explain why Ottawa accused New Delhi of seeking the killing of a Canadian-Sikh activist, as India denies this role.
The British High Commission refused to discuss the matter. “It’s a long-term position that can comment on technical issues,” said a spokesperson for the agency on Thursday.
The Indian high commission in Ottawa did not respond to queries.
Interceps will be “powerful evidence” because they come from five intelligence cooperation between Canada, the UK, the US, Australia, said Dan Stanton, the former head of Canadian Security.
“This is the gold standard of coalitions,” said Stanton, who is writing a book on transnational repression. “It has a lot of weight. Then you bring some corrections from Canadian intelligence.”
Bloomberg first reported the joint communications on Wednesday. World News confirmed their authenticity and obtained more information about Canada’s role.
They come at a bad time for Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has been dragging the Modi government and pushing for a trade deal with the South Asian nation.
Canada has invited India’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, to attend a meeting of G7 leaders in the Niagara Region on November 11 and 12.
The World Sikh Organization of Canada has said it is suffering from Carney’s dealings with India while continuing to deny evidence that it is suppressing the Transnational press.
“The inability or refusal to respond to India is a betrayal of Sikh Canadians and of Canadian sovereignty and sovereignty,” said a WSSS spokesperson.

“The Harney Government’s efforts to rebuild ties with New Delhi are of great concern while India continues to target Sikh activists on Canadian soil,” Singh said in a statement to world news.
For a long time, he lamented that Ottawa was too supportive of the Canadian-based Khalistan movement that demanded the freedom of the Sikh-larger Punjab of India-larger.
While India has labeled pro-Khalistan campaigners as terrorists, Canada lists them as a “small number” involved in extremism and other peaceful activists.
A leading grantee of Khalikastan, Nijjar was leaving the Guru Nanak Sikh temple south of Vancouver on June 18, 2023, when he died.
The following month, reported Bloomberg, the headquarters of communications in the UK advised Canada in Canada It had received communications involving the Indian government, about plans to kill two Sikh rights.

The four accused Hitchens, accused of being part of the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang who were in Canada on temporary visas, were arrested last year in Edmonton and Brampton, and are awaiting trial.
Canada has alleged that the Indian government has used the Bishnoi Gang to commit shootings, rapes and other crimes against the South Asian community.
India has not denied any role in Nijjar’s murder. Before the execution of the murder case, India had accused Nijjar of being a terrorist and demanded his arrest, but he did not provide reliable evidence.
Days after Nijjar’s murder, the FBI announced that it had foiled a second assassination plot, targeting one of Nijjar’s friends, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a New York-based Pro-Khalistan activist.
The US structure was followed in the research and analysis unit, the intelligence arm that reports to Modi’s office. Vaw chief Vikash Yadav is accused of hiring an Indian criminal figure to kill Pannun, but also talked to three stones in Canada.
Then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went public with India’s alleged role in the killing of Nijjar in September 2023, calling the killing of a Canadian citizen on our land “an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty.”
Last October, the RCMP announced a wide range of charges against “agents of the Government of India.”
Canada subsequently expelled six Indian diplomats who were persons of interest in the RCMP investigation.
Since taking up residence in March, however, Carney has adopted a more India-friendly approach as he seeks new trade partners in Europe and Asia amid the White House’s trade war with Canada.
Carney asked Modi at the G7 summit in Alberta in June, and Foreign Minister Anita Anand followed up in August by announcing that Canada and India were replacing tires and appointing new high commissioners.
Anand met with his Indian counterpart in New Delhi in October and said he “reached agreement on a new road map for Canada-India relations in India.” Now it has been announced that Carney is in New Delhi.
Canada’s security service declined to comment.
