Canadian Intelligence Confirms Khalistani Extremists Use Canada to Incite Violence in India

Canada’s Security Intelligence Service confirms Khalistani extremist groups are leveraging Canadian soil for violent activities aimed at creating Khalistan in India.

Canadian Intelligence Confirms Khalistani Extremists Use Canada to Incite Violence in India

Canadian Intelligence Acknowledges Khalistani Extremist Activities

In a significant development, Canada’s Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has officially recognized concerns regarding Khalistani extremist groups operating within its borders. The latest annual threat assessment report, released on June 18, 2025, outlines ongoing activities by Khalistani factions using Canadian soil as a base for promoting violence in India, particularly targeting the Punjab region.

Persistent Threats Aim to Establish Khalistan

The report explicitly states that Khalistani extremists in Canada are involved in fundraising, promotion, and planning of violent actions aiming to create an independent nation-state called Khalistan. This movement strives to achieve sovereignty primarily in India’s Punjab province through violent means.

Caution Over Foreign Interference

Alongside these findings, CSIS cautions that India remains a source of foreign interference concern for Canada, urging vigilance from Canadian authorities regarding these sensitive relations.

Diplomatic Developments Amid Rising Security Concerns

This report surfaced as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Canada for the first time in a decade, attending the G7 Summit in Alberta at the invitation of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Ahead of Modi’s arrival, Indian intelligence reportedly warned Canadian officials about possible mass demonstrations orchestrated by Khalistani groups, prompting calls for heightened security around the Indian delegation.

Modi and Carney’s Meeting Signals Diplomatic Reset

The summit marked a pivotal moment in Indo-Canadian relations. On the sidelines, PM Modi and PM Carney discussed restoring full diplomatic ties and agreed to appoint new high commissioners, aiming to heal previous tensions.

Relations soured in 2024 when former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Indian diplomats of involvement in criminal harassment and violence against Canadian citizens, including allegations around the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. Trudeau had strongly condemned the Indian government’s actions as a grave misstep.

Positive Signals for Bilateral Cooperation

Following their meeting, Modi described discussions as “excellent” and emphasized shared values such as democracy, freedom, and the rule of law. Carney expressed his honor in hosting Modi, highlighting the importance of addressing mutual challenges including energy security, artificial intelligence, and the fight against transnational repression and terrorism.

Looking Ahead

The CSIS report and Modi’s visit underscore the complex security landscape and the ongoing efforts to rebuild trust between Canada and India. Both nations appear committed to confronting extremist threats while fostering cooperation on global issues, paving the way for a more stable and collaborative partnership.
