Canada designated the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity on Monday, targeting a criminal organization allegedly connected to the 2023 murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar near Vancouver. Canadian police have accused members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government of collaborating with the Bishnoi Group to target Sikh activists on Canadian soil, but India has rejected these allegations. The designation provides Canada with enhanced legal tools to confront the transnational criminal organization, which operates primarily from India, but maintains a presence in Canada through extortion and intimidation tactics.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, who assumed office in March, is working to rebuild diplomatic relations with India that deteriorated under Justin Trudeau's leadership. Carney met with Modi at the Canada-hosted G7 summit in June, emphasizing the importance of commercial ties between the two nations as part of his broader strategy to strengthen Canadian trade relationships across Asia and reduce dependence on United States markets.
