Khalistani extremists in Canada receive financial backing: report

A recent Canadian government report indicates that Khalistani extremist groups, specifically Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation, are receiving financial support from Canada, posing a national security threat. This report highlights the involvement of politically motivated violent extremism (PMVE) and the misuse of charitable organizations for fundraising. It underscores India’s long-standing concerns regarding pro-Khalistani elements operating with impunity in Canada, which not only challenge India’s territorial integrity but also highlight the vulnerabilities in Canada’s counter-terrorism measures. This development reaffirms India’s position that external support for separatist movements significantly undermines security in the region.
