India slams CSIS foreign interference claims as baseless calls for action against Khalistani extremists

MEA says concerns must go through diplomacy, not headlines

India has strongly rejected claims by Canada’s CSIS alleging foreign interference, calling them baseless and contrary to India’s long-standing respect for national sovereignty. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said any issues should be handled through established diplomatic mechanisms rather than politicised public narratives, while also urging action against Khalistani extremist elements.
