The Government of Canada recently named multiple Khalistani factions in its report on money laundering and terrorist financing and highlighted the funding of such outfits from within the country.

The report, titled, '2025 Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks in Canada: Report' substantiated long-standing claims made by the Government of India that Canada is providing a safe haven to Khalistani separatists, extremists and its sympathisers. The report noted that the Khalistan affiliated organizations are suspected to be operating in the country and raising funds for the separatist cause.

The report claims, "Khalistani extremist groups supporting violent means to establish an independent state within Punjab, India are suspected of raising funds in a number of countries, including Canada."

It added, "These groups previously had an extensive fundraising network in Canada but now appear to consist of smaller pockets of individuals with allegiance to the cause but seemingly no particular affiliation to a specific group."

This report has attracted support from multiple corners, including diaspora organizations. Prominent Indian diaspora organization, Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA), Canada, has reacted sharply to this report. In a statement shared on X, CoHNA Canada said, "Canada just admitted what CoHNA and Canadian Hindus have been saying for years!"

It further said, "they're just regular criminals who have figured out that political slogans make for good camouflage. Hopefully, the government will crack down on them soon, ending this charade."

The report mentioned multiple pro-Khalistan organizations along with globally recognized terror outfits like Hezbollah and Hamas. It said, "Several terrorist entities listed under the Criminal Code in Canada that fall under the PMVE category, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Khalistani violent extremist groups Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation, have been observed by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to receive financial support originating from Canada."

The report also noted that these organizations raise money through fake charities, dirty banks, crypto schemes and drug trafficking.
