NEW DELHI: Intelligence agencies have flagged the rapid rise of the Khalistan movement in Australia, even as a marginal crackdown has been taking place in Canada and the United Kingdom.
Security agencies say that activities in Canada and the United Kingdom are slowing down considerably, but there has been a steep rise in Australia in recent months. The Khalistani elements have been diverting a lot of their resources to Australia, and recent incidents of violence are a clear indication of that.
In the past, referendums have been conducted in Australia, but the scale of the activity has risen considerably in recent months. There has been a rise in vandalism and scribbling of anti-India graffiti in Australia, which has raised major concerns.
