The leaked information from the Canadian government implicates India’s Home Affairs Minister, Amit Shah, in allegedly orchestrating hostile activities on Canadian soil.

In a new twist to the India-Canada diplomatic conflict, Canadian authorities reportedly leaked sensitive information to American media, aiming to portray India unfavorably amid growing tensions. The leaked intel accuses India’s Home Minister, Amit Shah, of directing hostile actions on Canadian soil, escalating the ongoing controversy.
Recently uncovered details indicate that Canada’s National Security and Intelligence Advisor Nathalie Drouin and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison strategically disclosed this information to The Washington Post. According to a Global and Mail report, this intentional leak was part of a carefully crafted “communications strategy” intended to gain moral leverage by sharing Canada’s perspective through prominent American media.
Drouin revealed during a parliamentary session that the Prime Minister’s Office was aware of the strategy but did not seek Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s direct authorization. Trudeau, however, neither stopped nor opposed the disclosure, indirectly endorsing it.
The report suggests that the strategy aimed to link Indian officials with incidents such as the fatal shooting of Sukhdool Singh Gill in Winnipeg last year, and the earlier killing of Khalistani supporter Hardeep Singh Nijjar—a claim Trudeau had previously made without concrete evidence.
This development underscores an intensifying diplomatic rift as Trudeau’s government appears committed to challenging India’s global image while defending its domestic stance on the controversial Khalistani movement.
