On Sunday night, India denounced as “fake” and “completely fabricated” a media report that purported to show that New Delhi had sent out a “secret memo” in April directing the implementation of “concrete” actions against Sikh separatists, including Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The study is a component of a “sustained disinformation campaign” against India, according to External Affairs Ministry spokeswoman Arindam Bagchi, and the publication that released it is well-known for disseminating “fake narratives” that are supported by Pakistani intelligence.
The report was released by the American online media organization Intercept.
“We vehemently contend that these reports are entirely made up and fraudulent. Such a memo does not exist,” Mr. Bagchi stated.

This is a component of an ongoing defamation campaign directed towards India. The aforementioned site is notorious for disseminating false narratives that are pushed by Pakistani intelligence. The authors’ posts attest to this connection,” he stated.
In response to questions about the claim from the media, he stated, “Those who amplify such fake news only do so at the cost of their own credibility.”
According to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, there is “potential” evidence linking Indian operatives to Nijjar’s June 18 murder on Canadian territory. This was stated in September.
India vehemently denied the accusations, referring to them as “absurd”.
