India in a strongly worded statement today rejected allegations of election interference in Canada, and pointed out it is Canada that has been "interfering in our internal affairs".
In a declassified intelligence report, Canada had named India as a "foreign threat" that could potentially interfere in their elections, months after they alleged Delhi's role in the killing of a Khalistani terrorist on their soil.
"We have seen media reports about a Canadian commission inquiring into foreign interference... We strongly reject such baseless allegations of Indian interference in Canadian elections. It is not India's policy to interfere in the democratic process of other countries," Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters today.
