Did Trudeau govt spy on Indian diplomats in Canada? Allegations spark concern
Canada, allegedly carried out under the directive of the Trudeau government. The Indian government is actively discussing these allegations following claims made by authorities in Ottawa to the Canadian media.
According to these claims, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had cited «credible evidence» suggesting India's «potential link» to the assassination of pro-Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, with the evidence reportedly based on intelligence related to communications involving Indian diplomatic personnel, a TOI report stated.
While India has not officially responded to these allegations, intelligence sources have suggested that a more thorough investigation is warranted to determine if unauthorized equipment was utilized by local law enforcement agencies to unlawfully monitor Indian high commission officials.
This revelation, in conjunction with the disclosure from Nijjar's family that the terrorist regularly met with Canadian security intelligence service officers, has added an intriguing dimension to the ongoing situation instigated by Prime Minister Trudeau.
Officials, however, have noted that tapping into the mobile phones of diplomats would be a violation of the Vienna Convention. As a result, advanced surveillance equipment such as 'off the air' devices or tools like cell-site simulators and IMSI catchers might have been employed to intercept conversations, if such actions were indeed taken.
