replaced the previous high commissioner expelled from Canada for his role in violence against Canadians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Same way when we have our own report, it says that Canada supports separatist

nationals working for India-based crime groups such as the Bishnoi gang, he said that was Canada\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/11609940\/rcmp-report-bishnoi-gang-acting-on-behalf-of-indian-government\/\">RCMP report released to Global News<\/a> under the Access to Information Act said the
