And yet they say that they won’t forcibly acquire the lands of our farmers! This is today’s video from Village Jahlan in Patiala, where the administration is forcibly acquiring farmers’ land without providing proper compensation.

UPDATE | "Conversations & texts among Indian diplomats include references to 'a senior official in India and a senior official in RAW' who have authorized the [attacks on Sikhs], the Canadian official said...Canadian officials identified the senior official in India as Amit Shah," the Washington Post is reporting.

BREAKING | The RCMP shares in its press conference today a "significant threat" to Canadians from the Indian government, well beyond what was initially understood. Baaz attended the press conference, here are the key findings: The "breadth and depth" of organized crime and transnational repression orchestrated by "agents of the Government of India" targeting Sikh Canadians across Canada is a serious issue, the RCMP shares. The RCMP highlighted multiple serious concerns including clear links tying the Government of India to homicides, violent acts, and the use of organized crime to target Canadians. Indian diplomats have also been using their official positions to engage in clandestine activities in Canada targeting the Sikh diaspora. Evidence shows many entities being used by agents of India to collect information on the Sikh community. Some of these individuals and businesses being used for intelligence gathering have been coerced to work with the Government of India, and that information is then used to target members of the Sikh community.

UPDATE | "Canada formally expelled India’s High Commissioner and five other diplomats on Monday, a senior government official said, as the national police force was set to reveal new details about the Indian government’s alleged connection to organized crime in Canada," the Globe and Mail is reporting. "Soon after Canadian officials notified India of the expulsion of the six diplomats, New Delhi recalled them," The Globe's source shared. The Indian Intelligence-Criminal Gangs Nexus is believed to be behind the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, as well as the failed attempts on multiple other Sikh targets in the diaspora.
