A CANADIAN official has accused Indian Home Minister Amit Shah of ordering a campaign of violence, intimidation and intelligence-gathering targeting Sikh separatists in Canada.

Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister David Morrison told members of the parliamentary national security committee that he had confirmed Mr Shah’s name to the Washington Post, which first reported the allegations.

“The journalist called me and asked if it was that person. I confirmed it was that person,” Mr Morrison told the committee.
