An official probe by Canada's Foreign Interference Commission has accused India of engaging "in a range of activities that seek to influence Canadian communities and politicians." The interim report suggests that the Indian government, through its proxy agents, attempted to covertly finance preferred candidates in the Canadian general election of 2021. This was done in an attempt to secure the election of pro-India candidates or establish sway over those who assume power.
