Our new trade partner India still a main perpetrator of interference, espionage in Canada: CSIS

OTTAWA — Canada’s spy agency says India remains one of the main perpetrators of foreign interference and espionage against Canada, contradicting a claim by a senior government official last week that Indian agents are no longer linked to such crimes.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has repeatedly cited the Indian government as one of the main perpetrators of foreign interference and transnational repression in Canada in recent years.

Mark Carney’s trip to India was unimaginable more than a year ago. Now it’s his Davos speech in action

MUMBAI—In Prime Minister Mark Carney‘s world of trade crisis and American disruption, Canada’s road for middle power survival now leads to India.

Carney’s vision of a “pragmatic” foreign policy landed him in this country’s financial epicentre on Friday, where he is set to court closer trade and deeper relations with a government Ottawa has accused of links to murder and other violent crimes on Canadian soil.

Anywhere Brookfield can make a buck.

Energy-hungry India tells Carney ‘we are willing to buy whatever Canada is offering’

India wants to buy any energy product it can from Canada, and its officials are urging the federal government to streamline approvals for various projects so it can tap into new supplies to feed a rapidly growing country with relatively few natural resources of its own.

That’s the message India’s high commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik, relayed in an interview with CBC News before Prime Minister Mark Carney left for a five-day visit to the country.

It’s a trip that will be laser-focused on cutting new business deals and getting negotiations for a free trade agreement underway as part of a push to diversify from the American market.

‘Never imagined this’: Indian village grapples with interfaith couple’s killing

The murder of an interfaith couple and the arrest of the woman’s brothers by the police for the alleged crime has shocked a small village in India’s northern Uttar Pradesh state where residents have lived in harmony for years.

The bodies of 19-year-old Kajal, a Hindu, and 27-year-old Mohammad Arman, a Muslim, were found buried near a riverbank on the outskirts of Umri village on 21 January.

Police said they were beaten to death with a spade two days earlier, allegedly by Kajal’s three brothers, who have been arrested. They are in custody and have not commented on the killings.

EU Opens Borders to Mass India Migration with ‘Mother of All Deals‘

The European Union has agreed to open its borders to mass immigration from India as it signed the bloc’s largest free trade agreement.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a press conference in New Delhi alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday that the bloc has agreed to a “mobility” scheme to allow for the influx of “students, researchers, seasonal and highly skilled workers” from India into Europe.

Will the EU rename itself “Brampton”?

The Nazi legion stopping one historian from returning home

In the final months of the Second World War, as his unit retreated in the face of Allied advances with barely a shot fired, Karl Hoffmann, the German linguist and SS officer, developed a ritual.

Once a day, he would put on breezy swing records from the 1920s and dictate magazine articles in bad Urdu while caressing the hair of his typist, a fervently Nazi corporal from Hamburg.

Such was life in the “Tiger” legion, a chaotic and largely ornamental body of roughly 3,000 soldiers from British-ruled India who had mostly been captured in the North Africa campaign and recruited to the Wehrmacht.

Israel and India, Both Under Threat, Solidify Ties

Israel, reacting to the usual condemnations from its supposed European allies, is understandably seeking assurance that its armed forces will have, in any future military crisis, an uninterrupted supply of critical weapons, spare parts and ammunition.

As some European states that were arms suppliers to Israel, such as Germany, have embargoed the delivery of weaponry, India seems to be a prime candidate to satisfy Israel’s ongoing needs.

‘My hopes are dashed’: Illegal Indian migrants deported by US speak to BBC

Several illegal Indian migrant workers who were recently deported from the US have recounted their ordeal to BBC Punjabi, describing humiliation, debt and shattered dreams.

At least 54 men, who had entered the US through the “donkey route” – often used by traffickers to facilitate illegal crossings – landed in the country’s capital Delhi on Sunday.

Aged between 25 and 40 years, all of them are from the northern state of Haryana and have since returned home, police said. The Indian government has not commented on their deportation.

India and Canada reset ties after strain of Sikh leader’s murder

India and Canada have agreed a host of steps at talks between their foreign ministers in Delhi aimed at restoring ties that plummeted after a Sikh separatist leader was assassinated on Canadian soil.

Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand, making her first official visit to India, met her counterpart S Jaishankar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Modi told her the visit would strengthen “efforts to impart new momentum” to the two countries’ partnership.

Does this mean we can mass deport all of the Doctors and Engineers we imported to staff every conceivable service industry job?

Canada lists the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity

OTTAWA — In a major escalation of Canada’s response to transnational organized crime and geopolitically motivated diaspora violence, the federal government today designated the India-based Bishnoi gang, led by Lawrence Bishnoi, as a terrorist entity under Canada’s Criminal Code. The listing bars Canadians from financing or aiding the group and allows authorities to seize property and freeze accounts.

Canada lists the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity

Canada has listed India’s Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity, allowing the federal government to seize property and freeze money owned by the group in the country.

The federal public safety minister announced the move on Monday, saying the gang created a climate of fear and intimidation in Canadian diaspora communities.

Last year, Canadian police alleged that agents of the Indian government were using Bishnoi members to carry out “homicides, extortion and violent acts” and target supporters of the pro-Khalistan movement.

In India’s deportation drive, Muslim men recount being tossed into the sea

SATKHIRA, Bangladesh — Indian police dragged Hasan Shah from his bed in western India one morning in late April. Later, he said, officers bound his hands with rope, placed a blindfold over his eyes and put him on a boat bound for Bangladesh.

After three days at sea, Shah said, they stood him on the edge of the vessel with a life vest, untied his hands, uncovered his eyes and gave him a final order at gunpoint: “Jump into the water,” Shah remembered the officers saying.

“If you look back, we’ll shoot you.”

Shocking.

Inside the alleged Indian intelligence plot to kill Sikhs in Canada and the U.S.

Two officers with a U.S. task force, one of them a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the other a detective with the New York City Police Department, had flown to the Czech Republic for the anticipated takedown of a man wanted in an extraordinary, politically sensitive murder-for-hire case.

The U.S. officers knew exactly when their target was to arrive in Prague on a flight from India and had given all the details to Czech authorities. International paperwork requesting the arrest and extradition to New York had already been sent for their wanted suspect: Nikhil Gupta, 53, known as Nick.
