“Absurd and baseless allegations will have serious consequences for bilateral ties between the two countries,” said Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for Minister of External Affairs (MEA) in a press conference on Saturday, in response to the references made by a Canadian minister about Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The diplomatic row between India and Canada intensified further when the latter accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of authorising killings in a foreign nation.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) summoned a representative from the Canadian High Commission on Friday (November 1) to strongly protest the “absurd and baseless” allegations made against Shah by Deputy Minister David Morrison during a parliamentary committee session.
Jaiswal stated, “The disclosure that senior Canadian officials are intentionally leaking unfounded allegations to the international media as part of a strategy to undermine India confirms the Indian government’s long-held concerns about the current Canadian administration’s political agenda and conduct.”

Jaiswal further condemned the Canadian government’s actions, stating that using technicalities does not excuse the harassment and intimidation of Indian diplomatic staff, who are already operating in a hostile environment. He emphasized that these actions exacerbate tensions and contradict established diplomatic norms.
