India Canada Latest News: In a significant development amidst escalating tensions between Canada and India, top Canadian officials have acknowledged that they leaked details of India's alleged foreign interference to The Washington Post, according to The Globe and Mail. However, the Canadian public was not privy to these specifics.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's National Security and Intelligence Adviser, Nathalie Drouin, admitted to sharing sensitive information on the Indian government’s purported role in murder, extortion, and coercion to the U.S. publication. During her testimony to the Commons Public Safety Committee, Drouin noted that she did not seek Trudeau's authorization for the leak.

She assured the committee that no classified intelligence was shared but added that this was part of a “communications strategy” to ensure Canada’s narrative was heard regarding its dispute with India. This disclosure came just before the Canadian government expelled six Indian diplomats on October 13.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Commissioner Mike Duheme stated on October 14 that “India was involved in the killing of three people” but specifically mentioned only Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s slaying. He added that eight individuals had been charged with murder, 22 with extortion, and four Indian nationals with Nijjar's killing.

Drouin explained that this communication strategy, developed alongside Deputy Foreign Minister David Morrison, was also reviewed by the Prime Minister’s Office. The purpose, she stated, was to highlight Canada’s actions in cooperating with India and to illustrate the alleged illegal activities carried out by Indian agents against Canadians.
