Federal officials from Canada have allegedly leaked classified intelligence about India's foreign interference operations in Canada to The Washington Post. The officials identified in the leak are Nathalie Drouin, Trudeau's national security adviser, and David Morrison, deputy minister of global affairs. This revelation has sparked reactions from MPs questioning whether the leak was part of a campaign to gain support from American officials. The intelligence shared included sensitive information about the India-Khalistan issue and the Nijjar probe. The leak has raised concerns about the Trudeau government's handling of sensitive diplomatic information, especially given previous criticisms of whistleblowers who leaked classified information about Chinese interference.
