A Canadian official on Tuesday alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah ordered a campaign of violence, intimidation and intelligence gathering, targeting Sikh separation activists, in Canada.
Deputy Foreign Affgairs Minister David Morrison told Parliament members of the national security committee that he had confirmed Mr. Shah's name to The Washington Post, which first reported the allegations.
"The journalist called me and asked if it was that person. I confirmed it was that person," Mr. Morrison told the committee.
Mr. Morrison did not say how Canada knew of Mr. Shah's alleged involvement.
