**Ottawa, Canada -** A new report by the Canadian government’s Finance department has acknowledged that Khalistani terror groups, including Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation, are operating within Canada and receiving financial support. This marks a significant shift, as Canada has long been accused of providing a safe haven for these groups, despite evidence of their presence and activities.
The assessment on money laundering and terrorist financing risks in Canada reveals that these groups are suspected of raising funds through various means, including charitable donations, drug trafficking, and auto thefts. The report also highlights the misuse of the non-profit sector and donations from expatriates. It further indicates that these groups are utilizing crowdfunding and cryptocurrencies to sustain their operations.
The report also pointed to financial links between Canada and other listed terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
The report notes the financial links between Canada and other listed terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah under the Politically Motivated Violent Extremism (PMVE) category.
Critics have long accused the Canadian government of inaction regarding Khalistani activities. With this report, the focus now shifts to whether the current administration will address the issue of terror financing and take concrete steps to curb the activities of these groups operating on Canadian soil.
