Canada Designates Bishnoi Gang as Terrorist Organization After Talks with India
Canada has officially listed the Bishnoi Gang as a terrorist entity, citing its activities that instill fear and intimidation within communities, particularly among the diaspora. This designation follows discussions between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and his Canadian counterpart, aimed at enhancing bilateral cooperation against terrorism. The Bishnoi Gang, led by Lawrence Bishnoi and primarily operating out of India, has been implicated in various criminal acts, including extortion and violence. By categorizing the gang as a terrorist organization, Canadian authorities gain enhanced legal tools to combat its activities and protect its communities, reflecting a crucial step in international collaboration against transnational crime and terrorism, particularly in the context of growing concerns about safety within diaspora populations.
