Indian ‘spy network’ operates in US and Canada, Sikh separatist claims

Pannun said earlier this month that the Modi government should not be allowed to conduct hostile activity in foreign countries and said India’s consulates in the US and Canada were running a “spy network”, although he did not provide any proof.

The US and Canada “need to put their foot down that regimes like Modi’s … should not be allowed to come to America or Canada, challenge their sovereignty and get away with it. They need to put their foot down and close [the consulates] permanently,” he said.

Pannun did not elaborate on the alleged spy network. Similar assertions have been made by Sikh activists in America and Canada.
