The Canadian government accused several Indian media outlets of “manipulating information.” Diplomatic relations between the two countries deteriorated. Meanwhile, a Canadian committee analyzed five live news reports from India Today, chaired by senior executive editor Shiv Aroor. The play will be broadcast on September 13.
Responding to allegations on a show he hosted last year, Shiv Aroor said Canada’s real foreign interference came from China’s accusations of election meddling, cyber hacking, espionage, but he could host an Indian TV show.
“Dealing with election tactics is complex, dealing with economic pressure tactics is expensive, and dealing with cyber espionage requires money and effort,” the senior editor said. But sitting in another country, it’s easy to identify a TV show and call it foreign interference.
Mention more than a dozen news items
It is understood that the Canadian government has filed charges against Indian media channels. The accusation comes months after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The list includes more than a dozen news content and programs hosted by various media companies.
The above five live broadcasts were broadcast after Trudeau made accusations against India without any evidence. The report of Canada’s foreign interference committee stated that such channels related to Prime Minister Modi involved Prime Minister Trudeau, the Canadian High Commissioner to India, Canada’s national security agencies, the Canadian Punjabi Sikh diaspora and Hardeep Singh.

Canadian journalists express solidarity with India
Shiv Aroor clarified his stance on the matter on Thursday’s show and said this is my commitment. No matter how many lists Trudeau releases, I will continue to watch them. Canadian journalist Daniel Brodman who participated in the program described Canada’s move to accuse the Indian media as ridiculous. Brodman, a senior reporter at Canada’s National Telegraph, said: “It is completely ridiculous for Canada to claim that allied media report news under foreign influence.”
