On Thursday, New Delhi blasted the Trudeau government's "baseless" allegations that India had interfered in Canada's elections, stressing it was not India's policy to interfere in the democratic process of other countries.He said that it was instead Canada that was interfering in India's internal affairs.The statement from India's MEA has come amid growing tensions between the two nations over several matters, including allegations against New Delhi over the killing of Khalistani separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.This past September, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that there were “credible allegations” of a possible connection between Indian agents and the killing of Nijjar, a designated terrorist in India, in British Columbia's Surrey on June 18, 2023.

'It's Canada, Who's Interfering': India Rips Into Trudeau's Election Meddling Claims
India's swift and assertive response to allegations of interference in Canada's political activities conveys a clear message that the Narendra Modi government will not succumb to undue pressure.
On Thursday, New Delhi blasted the Trudeau government's "baseless" allegations that India had interfered in Canada's elections, stressing it was not India's policy to interfere in the democratic process of other countries.
“We have seen media reports, Canadian Commission inquiring into foreign interferences. We strongly reject such baseless allegations of Indian interference in Canadian elections," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a press conference.
He said that it was instead Canada that was interfering in
India's internal affairs.
“It is not the government of India's policy to interfere in the democratic process of other countries. In fact, quite on the reverse, it is Canada, who has been interfering in our internal affairs,” he pointed out.
The statement from
India's MEA has come amid growing tensions between the two nations over several matters, including allegations against New Delhi over the killing of Khalistani separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
This past September, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that there were “credible allegations” of a possible connection between Indian agents and the killing of Nijjar, a designated terrorist in India, in British Columbia's Surrey on June 18, 2023.
