The National Post reported that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) had confirmed that India remained one of the main perpetrators of foreign interference and espionage against Canada. “India categorically rejects allegations of involvement in transnational repression or organised crime. “The leaders affirmed the importance of their countries’ shared commitment to democratic values, self-reliance, and respect for sovereignty and the rule of law — including in combating transnational repression and organised crime,” it said. It added that in an email to the newspaper on Saturday, “CSIS spokesperson Eric Balsam confirmed that remains the case”. That statement had contradicted a February 3 statement by CSIS director Dan Rogers that cited China, Russia and India as among the most active perpetrators of foreign interference targeting Canada.
