New Delhi: Ministry of External Affairs (thing) was fired on Saturday CanadaDesignating India as an “adversary” in its National Cyber Threat Assessment further intensifies the ongoing diplomatic tensions and hinted at possible state funding network monitoring Indian campaign against Canada.
Responding to the report, MEA spokesperson Randir Jaiswal said: “We believe this is another Canadian strategy to attack India. Senior Canadian officials have publicly acknowledged that they are seeking to manipulate global opinion against India. … As on other occasions, these accusations were directed at India.
MEA strongly rejects Canadian minister’s accusations against union home minister Amit Shahwarning that bilateral relations will be seriously affected. The response came after Canadian Deputy Foreign Minister David Morrison issued a statement on Tuesday claiming that Shah directed operations against Sikh separatists in Canada.
Jaiswal said a representative of the Canadian High Commission was summoned on Friday and a diplomatic note was handed over to express India’s strong protest against the “ridiculous and baseless” accusations made by Canada’s deputy minister against India’s Union Home Minister.
Jaiswal also stressed that senior Canadian officials systematically circulated unsubstantiated accusations to the international media to undermine India’s global standing. He said the move reflected India’s existing concerns about the political motives of Canada’s current government.
He stressed that these actions will greatly affect the relationship between the two countries.
“The fact that senior Canadian officials deliberately leaked baseless insinuations to the international media as part of a conscious strategy to discredit India and influence other countries only confirms the Indian government’s long-held view of the current Canadian government’s political agenda. This irresponsible behavior will have serious consequences for bilateral relations.
Earlier this week, reports emerged that senior Canadian officials admitted to sharing information with The Washington Post about alleged foreign interference in India.
Tensions between India and Canada increased last year after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told parliament there were “credible allegations” linking India to the killing of Canadians. Nijar.
