Canada spy agency pulled out its mole just ahead of Air India Kanishka bombing

The Indian government is "not aware" of any specific threat against Air India and its passengers, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said Monday evening at the NDTV World Summit.

"I am not aware of any specific threat today... but we have seen threats, in the past, to our airlines, to our Parliament, to our diplomats and High Commissions, and our leaders," Mr Jaishankar said.

"And all that is a source of concern..." he said.

Mr Jaishankar may have sidestepped the question on the threat, but took the opportunity to take more sharp digs at the Canadian government amid a tense diplomatic stand-off over the killing of another Khalistani terrorist - Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen - in Vancouver in June last year.
