A popular and well-connected Indian media personality is ominously predicting that India will interfere in Canada’s upcoming federal election in 2025, and he says right-wing parties and think tanks in Canada need financial and political support.

In a video posted a few months ago on a YouTube channel run by Gaurav Arya, a retired Major with the Indian Army turned right-wing media personality, Arya suggested India will take direct and indirect steps to remove Justin Trudeau from power.

“India will put all their pressure, whether indirectly or directly, so Justin Trudeau’s government will fall and another government will come,” Arya said in a May 8, 2024 video on Arya’s YouTube talk channel called “Majorly Right.”

“In Canada, the think tanks and the right-wing parties will need to be supported, because there are a lot of right-wing parties in Canada,” Arya added .“They will be supported, either financially, politically or diplomatically.”

    I tend to notice that it’s only fascists that try to promote their agenda in other countries. Stop interfering with other peoples’ elections, you fucks!

      That is definitely not the case. All sides of the political spectrum try to push their views in other countries. John Oliver, a British American media personality, urged Canadians to vote for Trudeau in 2015 on his show.

      Right wingers want everyone in the world to be in the same hole they’re. Modi loves that the canadian government is siding with zionists as India has been attacking the muslim community under his watch.
