OTTAWA—Canada’s allies in the “Five Eyes” intelligence network are backing up the Trudeau government in voicing deep concern about allegations Indian diplomats are behind a campaign of violence, intimidation and even murder inside Canada.
British and American government officials called on India to co-operate with the ongoing Canadian criminal investigation into allegations of a co-ordinated intimidation and homicide campaign, with the U.S. State Department calling the allegations “extremely serious.”
New Zealand and Australia stopped short of urging India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to comply with Canada’s request for investigative help, but expressed confidence in Canada’s criminal and judicial processes.
In a statement Wednesday by the British Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, a spokesperson addressed “serious developments outlined in the independent investigations in Canada.”
