Canadian intelligence accuses India over Sikh’s killing as Carney meets Modi

Killing of Canadian national was significant escalation in India's repression efforts' but leaders shake hands at G7

Canada's spy agency has warned that the assassination in British Columbia of a prominent Sikh activist signaled a significant escalation in India's repression efforts" and reflects a broader, transnational campaign by the government in New Delhi to threaten dissidents.

The report was made public a day after Mark Carney shook hands with Narendra Modi at the G7 and pledged to restore diplomatic relations in a very public attempt to turn the page on the bitter diplomatic row unleashed by the murder of the Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
