Ottawa names India's home minister as involved in plots targeting Sikhs on Canadian soil

Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Ottawa has accused Indian Home Minister Amit Shah of being involved in plots targeting Sikh separatists within Canada, a development that is expected to further fray relations between the two countries.

Canada has been investigating India in connection to a series of threats and assassination attempts on Indo-Canadians on Canadian soil but has been tight-lipped about which senior Indian government officials are involved, as well as the evidence linking the violence to New Delhi, over fears of interfering in the ongoing investigations.
