Canada Admits Khalistani Terror Groups Funded Through Drugs and Crypto

International News: An official government report of Canada has made a big disclosure. In this report, for the first time, it has been officially admitted that Khalistani terrorist organizations are actively operating from Canadian soil and they are also getting funding from here. This disclosure has come at a time when there is already tension between India and Canada over the Khalistani issue.

Canadian Finance Ministry Report

This report has been prepared by the Canadian Finance Ministry. It has deeply assessed the threats related to money laundering and terrorist funding. According to the report, organizations like Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) and Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) are raising funding in many countries, including Canada. The report clearly states that these organizations are not only raising money through donations or charity, but they are also earning income from illegal activities and crimes.

Where is the money coming from?

According to the report, the funding of Khalistani terrorist organizations is coming from several sources:

• Drug trade—huge profits from drug smuggling.
• Theft and smuggling of vehicles—earnings from the sale of stolen vehicles.
• Misuse of charity funds—misuse of money raised in the name of religious and social organizations.
• Donations and help from the diaspora—money coming in the form of donations from the diaspora Sikh community.

The report also states that not only Khalistan, but terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah are also being provided financial help from Canada. This is a matter of serious concern for Canadian intelligence agencies.

New modern methods of funding

The report said that these organizations are now raising funding through new and modern methods instead of old methods.

These include:

• Crowdfunding platforms: online donation campaigns.
• Cryptocurrency: use of digital currency for secret transactions.
• Misuse of the banking system: misuse of banking channels to make transactions look legitimate.
• Exploitation of nonprofit and charity organizations: using religious and social organizations as a cover.

In addition, Khalistani organizations are now operating through small groups instead of large networks, making it more difficult to catch their activities.

Impact on India-Canada relations

This disclosure can further increase the growing tension between India and Canada. India has already demanded from Canada several times to take strict action against Khalistani elements active on its soil. Now that Canada itself has admitted that such organizations are raising funds from here, it remains to be seen what concrete steps it takes against these organizations.
