Secret memo on Indian diplomats is fake: MEA

Secret memo on Indian diplomats is fake: MEA

New Delhi, Nov 8 (UNI) The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday termed as fake a “secret memo” doing the rounds on social media attempting to link Indian diplomats abroad with violent crimes.
“The said Government of India communication is fake”, the MEA said.
The fake memo, dated April 2023, is purported to be from former Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra asking Indian diplomats to “cultivate” Indian diaspora groups in Canada “as vital force in the street confrontations with Sikh extremists”.
The fake memo has been posted on X by a person who goes by the name Aman Singh, with the handle @TheStarBanner, based in New York.
Along with the fake memo, Singh posted on X: “Indian Government’s Secret Memo has been leaked where it has been revealed that the Indian Embassies are being used to mobilize and train terrorists in the west.”
The fake memo comes as tensions have been rising between the Indian government and Ottawa over the free rein given to Khalistani separatists in Canada, who last week entered the premises of a Hindu temple in Brampton, Ontario, and attacked devotees and other people. The incident at the Brampton temple took place as the Indian consulate was holding a camp inside, with the permission of the temple authorities, to help the Indian diaspora complete their life certificates.
India has condemned the violence and urged Canada to provide security to Indian diplomats.
