Earlier on September 6, the Canadian government has acknowledged that Khalistani extremist groups are receiving financial support from within Canada. The revelation came through a comprehensive assessment on Money Laundering and terrorist financing risks in Canada released by the Department of Finance, raising fresh concerns for India-Canada relations.

According to the government report, groups like Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF), both banned under Canada’s Criminal Code, have been observed by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to be recipients of funds generated in Canada.

The report noted that Khalistani violent extremist groups, while fragmented today, continue to sustain themselves through financial inflows originating from diaspora communities and non-profit networks. “These groups previously had an extensive fundraising network in Canada but now appear to consist of smaller pockets of individuals with allegiance to the cause but seemingly no particular affiliation to a specific group,” the assessment stated.
