Canada calls for action against India: Kayani

Kashmiri leader says India's intelligence agents have been masquerading as diplomats and other VIP officials

LONDON:

India's rogue behaviour outside its boundaries has now been officially stamped by one of its own allies, which demands severe punishment for New Delhi's transnational aggression and crimes, Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK and All Parties Alliance Kashmiri leader Fahim Kayani has said.

"It is about time that India's façade of a democracy is dismantled by same nations which have backed its illegal occupation in Kashmir," he said while reiterating the call for expulsion of Indian diplomats from Canada.

"The indication by Canadian government that Indian ambassador and other diplomats are involved in criminal activities on its soil is truth which Kashmiris have been telling for decades," he added.

The Kashmiri leader said India's intelligence agents have been masquerading as diplomats and other VIP officials but "in reality they are criminals and mafia just like Canada has exposed them".

Kayani called for international awareness about India's "overseas terror machine". Canadian police have found that Indian government agents were orchestrating criminal activities in the North American nation, as the investigation into the murder of prominent Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar pointed to the involvement of Indian diplomats posted in Ottawa and other cities.

"The transnational repression, crimes and terrorism by India is now fully exposed and proven by none other than New Delhi's own allies which is a grave warning for all other governments in the West, East as well as in Middle East and Europe," Kayani said.

The Tehreek-e-Kashmir leader reminded Canada of Kashmiri pain and oppression due to illegal occupation by India.

"Since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has experienced the illegal and criminal nature of Indian state, the Canadian government and deep state must also have now understood the feelings and emotions of Kashmiris who are braving Indian military mafia for decades," he said.

"National governments across the world must raise alarm about Indian activities,' he added.

"There is a need that governments across the continents should issue warnings to local communities and diaspora groups to remain vigilant against Indian government's mafia and agents as their activities have proven hazardous in Canada."

Kayani called on Kashmiri diaspora as well as Pakistani expatriate community to take precautions against India's extraterritorial and illegal activities.

"We must mobilise against India's actions as it has brought its terror machine overseas."
