Sikh Canadian MP Jagmeet Singh is on radar of Indian intelligence agencies. Singh had organised a conference of pro-Khalistan activists in Canada’s Ontario in 2013. He is believed to be involved in funding of terror outfits. New Democratic Party leader and Sikh MP Jagmeet Singh is believed to be involved in funding terror outfits and supporting the anti-India narrative in the Americas, as per Indian intelligence agencies

New Delhi: Indian-origin Sikh leader Jagmeet Singh's New Democratic Party (NDP) may have emerged a ‘kingmaker’ in Canada’s recently-concluded General Election but for India, he remains an anti-India personality and pro-Khalistan leader. This despite the fact that Singh has deep roots in India’s Punjab.

As per a dossier prepared by Indian intelligence agencies, Jagmeet provides shelter to pro-Khalistan activists in Canada. Further, he has led several anti-India protests in the Americas following the Narendra Modi government’s move to revoke special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

Singh’s move to organise a conference of pro-Khalistan activists in Canada’s Ontario in 2013 has surprised the Indian establishment, knowing that he was born to immigrant Indian parents. The Ministry of External Affairs believed the conference was aimed at maligning India’s image.

In 2015, when Singh was a legislature member of NDP, he made his appearance at a pro-Khalistan rally in San Francisco, United States. At that rally, Singh left no stone upturned to show dreaded terror leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, killed in Operation Blue Star, as a martyr.

A year later, he supported the use of violence as a legitimate means of resistance to achieve the goal of Khalistan - an independent Sikh state out of India’s control.

According to a report in IANS, Indian intel has been tracking him since 2012. In 2013, the 40-year-old NDP leader was denied a visa to travel to India following an adverse report by the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).

The RAW report highlighted the fact that Singh had been facilitating funds to Khalistani outfits, which had their base in Pakistan. His links with prominent Khalistani and Kashmiri separatist groups based out of European countries have also come to the fore.

It is believed that Singh is working to bring Khalistani and Kashmiri separatists under one umbrella in Canada.

Post Modi government’s Article 370 move, Singh had openly supported the pro-Pakistan narrative on Kashmir while accusing India of human rights violations in J&K.
