Leaked Pakistani secret intelligence documents support Canada's claim of an Indian assassination program targeting Sikh separatists. The US Justice Department indicted an Indian national in an alleged foiled assassination plot in the US. A senior US official visited India to discuss the alleged plot. The Modi government's alleged targeting of Sikhs has raised concerns about US-Indian relations. The Indian government is accused of ordering the killing of Sikh activists in America and Canada. The alleged assassination plot against a Sikh American activist in New York is linked to the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Vancouver, with Canada alleging the involvement of Indian intelligence. A leaked Indian government memo instructed overseas intel operatives to take measures against Sikh diaspora organizations in Western countries.
Leaked Indian government memo highlights: Internally, India does not justify its targetting of diaspora Sikhs on the basis of terrorism concerns, but instead cites "defaming India" and "challenging our global interests." https://t.co/mleiGjba6T
