Canadas allegation against Amit Shah concerning, says US
cancel

New York: The United States on Wednesday expressed concern following Canada’s allegations against Home Minister Amit Shah that he was behind ‘campaign to intimidate or kill’ Sikh separatists in Canada.

The reaction from the US came after Canadian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison on record raised allegations for the first time against Amit shah.

Subsequently, US Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller said the US would continue to ‘consult with the Canadian Government about those allegations’.

David Morrison raised the charges at a time when the diplomatic ties between both countries has worsened almost to the point of complete disconnect.

It all began in September 2023 when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of having involvement in the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, citing ‘credible allegations’.

Nijjar, who was the head of the Khalistan Tiger Force designated a terrorist outfit in India, supported a separate homeland for Sikhs, Khalistan.

New Delhi termed Canada’s allegations as ‘absurd and motivated’ alongside saying that Canada was providing shelter to those threatening India’s sovereignty.

Subsequently, India asked Canada to withdraw more than 40 diplomatic officials from the country.

In the thick of this situation, the US also alleged last year that an Indian government official plotted to kill Sikh separatist leader, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
