The RCMP says it has evidence six Indian diplomats played a role in coercively collecting information on South Asian Canadians and then passing that information to criminal organizations.

OTTAWA — Any Indian diplomats involved in criminal activity in Canada must be subjected to "severe sanctions," NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh charged Tuesday, a day after the RCMP said it had credible evidence linking Indian agents to murder, extortion and coercion in Canada.

Ng said the government remains "open to a dialogue" with India and looks forward to continuing a "valued relationship." Singh said Canada must also ban a Hindu group that has been accused of hate speech by Sikh and Muslim groups. "The reaction from the U.S. is going to be the one that everybody will be paying attention to," she said.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said India's refusal to co-operate is why Canada declared the six diplomats persona non grata, which is one of the stiffest penalties Canada can impose under the Vienna Convention.
