India raids offices of George Soros founded Open Society

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday carried out searches at eight locations in Bengaluru in connection with a foreign exchange violation probe against American billionaire George Soros founded Open Society Foundations and its impact investment arm Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF), people familiar with the development said.

The searches, for potential violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act or FEMA, were carried out at NGOs and other firms funded by OSF and SEDF, and at Aspada Investments Private Limited, which is the holding company of SEDF. ED said Aspada is the investment advisor/fund manager of SEDF in India and is wholly owned subsidiary of a Mauritius-based entity.

Canada accuses Indian businessman of foreign interference, disinformation

A south Edmonton split-level with a brick facade and a spruce out front is the unlikely Canadian headquarters of the Indian conglomerate the Srivastava Group.

Run by a New Delhi family, the company claims to have offices in Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, where it owns newspaper and oil and gas businesses.

But Canadian national security officials have alleged the Srivastava Group and its senior executive have also been involved in more secretive activities.

No one likes Justin.

Don’t expect Trump to keep the pressure on India over hit squads operating in Canada

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, India’s foreign minister who has tangled repeatedly with Canada, said last year that many countries were nervous after the re-election of U.S. President Donald Trump.

But he said India was “not one of them.”

This week, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Trump in the White House, following a recent visit by Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu — a close friend of Modi’s.

‘Justin Trudeau played India card for vote bank, it didn’t work’: Canadian journalist Tahir Gora

Toronto [Canada], January 14 (ANI): Canadian journalist Tahir Gora believes that outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s diplomatic row with India was a desperate attempt to garner votes, which ultimately backfired.

Trudeau’s popularity had been waning due to his handling of immigration policies and the economy, and his party’s trust in him had begun to erode. He raked up the diplomatic row with India only for his ‘vote bank politics’ which didn’t work, Gora said.

In an online interview with ANI, Tahir Gora said he doesn’t see the India-Canada ties improving anytime soon, irrespective of the results of the next general elections due later this year.

Globalist Billionaire Bill Gates Slammed for Treating India as His Personal Testing Ground for Dangerous Experiments

Billionaire globalist Bill Gates is facing a massive backlash after casually referring to India as a “kind of laboratory to try things out” during a podcast with Reid Hoffman. For many Indians, this statement exposed the arrogance of Gates and his belief that he could treat sovereign nations as mere testing grounds for his globalist experiments.

Canada’s security agencies suspect Modi knew of plot to kill Sikh activist

Canadian security agencies believe Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India knew about the killing of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia and other violent plots, according to a senior national-security official who worked on the intelligence assessment of New Delhi’s foreign-interference operations in Canada.

The official said Canadian and American intelligence tied the assassination operations to Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah. Also in the loop, the official said, was Mr. Modi’s trusted national-security adviser Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.

Joe Adam George: Khalistani-Hindu clashes product of Trudeau’s post-national experiment

In what has now become a common theme in the streets of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s post-national Canada, chaos and extremist violence marred an otherwise joyous occasion for the Canadian-Indian community celebrating Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas — festivals that symbolize the spiritual victory of good over evil and fighting injustice and oppression.

Today in Diversity Sucks Shlit: Fears of more clashes between Sikhs and Hindus in Brampton

Young men clutching swords, baseball bats and pieces of lumber are standing guard outside a Sikh gurdwara near Toronto’s Pearson Airport, their eyes scanning the perimeter for signs of trouble in the dark.

Prayers broadcasting from inside the temple mix with Punjabi music blaring from a pick-up truck parked nearby. The mood has been tense ever since the sun set.

Trudeau’s statements on Indian interference may have spurred clashes in Canada, critics say

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to go public with foreign interference claims against India lies in stark contrast with the way the United States handled similar allegations and could be at the root of violent clashes seen in recent days between Sikh and Hindu crowds in Brampton, Ont., and Surrey, B.C., say India experts.

Poilievre accuses Trudeau of sowing ‘divisions’ that led to Brampton’s violent temple clash

In a testy exchange in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of sowing the “divisions” that led to the violent clash between Sikh separatists and Hindu worshippers outside a Hindu temple in Brampton on the weekend.

The question period exchange kicked off with Trudeau calling Poilievre’s silence on the violence in South Asian communities “deafening.”

Poilievre accused Trudeau of using the issue to distract from domestic economic issues.

‘Trudeau, sociologically and politically, is an idiot’: Ujjal Dosanjh on why PM is to blame for Sikh extremism in Canada

“A silent majority of the Sikhs do not want to have anything to do with Khalistan. They just don’t speak out because they’re afraid of violence and violent repercussions,” reports Ujjal Dosanjh, as a Sikh living in Vancouver, B.C.

The call for a separate Sikh homeland in Punjab, India — to be called Khalistan — has been brewing since the 1930s, when British rule in India was nearing its end. Although the movement now has marginal support in India, it has taken wings in Canada and escalated into the present derailing of relations between two friendly Commonwealth democracies, India and Canada.

This mess is on Trudeau.

He provided a safe haven for Khalistan militants in exchange for Sikh votes never thinking there might be repercussions.

Not that he cares.

Violence and Threats: How a Campaign of Fear Has Shaken Canada’s Sikhs

On a warm July night two years ago, Moninder Singh received a chilling message from special federal agents who showed up at his house in British Columbia: You are being formally warned that there is an imminent threat to your life. Avoid public spaces. Enhance security at home.

The first person he called — a friend and fellow activist in a campaign promoting an independent Sikh homeland carved out of India — had just gotten the same ominous warning.

A year later, that friend, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was dead.

Trudeau’s National Security Adviser & Deputy Minister Of Foreign Affairs Leaked Sensitive Intelligence Info About India To Washington Post

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser and the deputy minister of foreign affairs provided sensitive intelligence about India to The Washington Post days before the RCMP publicly alleged that Indian government agents have been linked to homicides, extortions and other violent criminal activities in Canada, two sources say.

The leak to the U.S. publication about the killing of a Winnipeg Sikh leader and the role of India’s Home Secretary in violent acts in Canada stands in contrast to Mr. Trudeau’s view of leaks of classified information on China’s interference activities. Last week, he told the public inquiry into foreign interference that “a criminal leaked classified information” about China’s meddling in 2023 to The Globe and Mail.

So Justin and his girlfriend leaked intelligence data to stamp out the anti-Trudeau mutiny.
