For the past few years, Canada and India have been at loggerheads over alleged Indian foreign interference in Canada and the targeting of Sikh activists by India’s alleged networks of transnational repression. As the international situation becomes increasingly unstable, and with the US under the Trump administration creating a challenging environment for Canada, the Canadian government under PM Mark Carney has taken several steps to mend its ties with India. The Canadian government is now seen as brushing the issues of Indian foreign interference and transnational repression under the carpet to secure trade deals with India.

How are various sections of Canadian society viewing these developments?

How are these developments impacting Sikh activists and their families, who are reportedly under constant threat from these alleged Indian networks?

How are Sikh diaspora organizations dealing with the current situation, and what does the future hold for Sikhs in Canada?

To discuss these and other related issues, journalist Mandeep Singh speaks exclusively with Bhai Moninder Singh of the Sikh Federation Canada.
