Indian diplomats in Canada were put under surveillance

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Canada the issues of surveillance of Indian diplomats by local security agencies in violation of the Vienna Convention and Ottawa’s complicity in encouraging extremism for decades but to no avail.

Terrorists residing in Canada are not only openly calling for India’s dismemberment but also killing innocent people and running extortion and drug syndicates in India. The Canadian government is refusing to act against them despite evidence shared with them, highly placed sources told ET.

Canadian governments have been ignoring extradition requests by India as well as the Red Corner Notices against these terrorists, one of the above-mentioned sources told ET.

Sources alleged that there are credible reasons to believe that Canada is complicit in the blowing up of Air India flight (AI-182) in 1985 in which 329 passengers were killed.

Sources recalled there was complete failure to detect explosives at Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto Airports ahead of the bombing of AI-182.

Ottawa has also refused to extradite Talwinder Singh Parmar of Babbar Khalsa International, the brain behind this terrorist act. Sources recalled that Parmar, along with Inderjit Singh Reyat, were under surveillance of the Canadian authorities before the AI-182 incident but surveillance was removed a fortnight before the bombing.

Reyat later admitted to making three bombs.

Canada has bungled at every stage of the AI-182 probe amid the turf wars between Canadian security agencies RCMP and CSIS. Sources alleged that while RCMP was investigating the case, CSIS was destroying documents and evidence including taped testimony.
