Canada\u2019s Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) had previously alleged that both India and Pakistan sought to influence the Canadian elections held in 2019 and 2021. However, the recent inquiry focused squarely on India\u2019s role.<\/p>\n<p>The verdict was unequivocal:\u00a0<em>\u201cI do not believe during the 2021 election that we saw evidence of the Government of India using those tools in the campaign,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0stated a senior poll official. The panel of Canadian bureaucrats monitoring the elections concurred\u2014no attempt by India to sway the outcome was detected.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rebuttal: Commitment to No India Interference<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>India had earlier refuted Canada\u2019s claims, dismissing them as baseless. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson\u00a0<strong>Randhir Jaiswal<\/strong>\u00a0emphasized India\u2019s unwavering commitment to non-interference in other nations\u2019 democratic processes.\u00a0<em>\u201cIt is not the government of India\u2019s policy to interfere in the democratic processes of other countries,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Jaiswal asserted.\u00a0<em>\u201cIn fact, quite on the reverse, it is Canada which has been interfering in our internal affairs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The fallout from these allegations had strained bilateral ties. Prime Minister\u00a0<strong>Justin Trudeau<\/strong>\u00a0had previously accused India of involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist\u00a0<strong>Hardeep Singh Nijjar<\/strong>\u00a0on Canadian soil\u2014a flashpoint that reverberated through diplomatic channels.
