India warns Canada against accusing Amit Shah, Ottawa puts Delhi on cyberthreat list

New Delhi accused Ottawa of harassing and intimidating consular staff and warned that absurd claims against Union home minister Amit Shah will have serious consequences while Canada put India on its cyberthreat adversaries list as the diplomatic standoff between the two countries escalated further on Saturday.

The bilateral relationship has gone south since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said a year ago that Canada had evidence that agents of the Indian government were involved in the murder of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia in June 2023.
