India Rejects Canadian Commission’s Allegations of Election Interference

India Rejects Canadian Commission: India rejected a report from the Canadian Commission on Tuesday that alleged the Government of India interfered in Canada’s federal elections.

The Ministry of External Affairs dismissed the report’s claims, which suggested that India may have used proxy agents to fund candidates from three political parties covertly during the election.

The ministry of external affairs (MEA) strongly responded, dismissing the report’s claims and saying that Canada has, in fact, been “consistently interfering” in India's internal affairs.

“We have seen a report about alleged activities on purported interference. It is in fact Canada which has been consistently interfering in India’s internal affairs. This has also created an environment for illegal migration and organised criminal activities," the MEA said in an official statement.

"This has also created an environment for illegal migration and organised criminal activities," it said in a statement.

“We reject the report’s insinuations on India and expect that the support system enabling illegal migration will not be further countenanced," it added.

Earlier the Canadian government in a report claimed that China and India tried to interfere in Canada's elections.

New Delhi was suspected of using proxy agents to provide "clandestine financial support" to candidates from three political parties in a federal election, Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail reported.

"Like the PRC (People’s Republic of China), India conducts foreign interference through diplomatic officials in Canada and through proxies,” Justice Marie-JosÃe Hogue, who is the head of the commission of inquiry, wrote. "A body of intelligence indicates that proxy agents may have, and may continue to be, clandestinely providing illicit financial support to various Canadian politicians in an attempt to secure the election of pro-India candidates or gain influence over candidates who take office."

The report claimed that while China was the "most persistent and sophisticated foreign interference threat to Canada," India has become the "second most active country engaging in electoral foreign interference in Canada," according to the CTV news.
