NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh calls for MPs to study threats from India amid RCMP allegations

The South Asian community is facing a particular risk, especially those linked to the pro-Khalistan movement, the RCMP said

OTTAWA — Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he wants a parliamentary committee to probe how best to protect Canadians against threats from India after the RCMP announced that it believes government agents are connected to serious violent crimes happening in Canada. 

Singh spoke to reporters on Tuesday, the day after the national force announced it had found “links tying agents of the Government of India to homicides and violent acts.” That included diplomats, whom the RCMP said had used their position to collect information for India’s government, either through proxies or “coercion.”
