Tensions between Canada and India have escalated recently, with significant diplomatic fallout. Canadian government officials have publicly named Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, stating that he was involved in directing attacks against Sikh activists in Canada, allegedly using organized crime networks. This accusation marks a dramatic escalation in the ongoing tensions between the two nations.

In a related development, Canada has included India in its National Cyber Threat Assessment for 2025-2026, placing it alongside other major geopolitical rivals like China, Russia, and Iran. This move signals growing concerns over cyber threats originating from these countries. Meanwhile, the United States has imposed sanctions on several foreign companies for providing dual-use commodities to Russia, with 19 Indian companies appearing on the list. These sanctions further complicate the diplomatic relations between the two nations. In light of these events, journalist Mandeep Singh sat down with Parmjeet Singh Gazi, the editor of Sikh Siyasat, to discuss the broader implications of these developments on the relationship between Canada and India.
