Canada's spy agency claims China, India likely to interfere in next election
Beijing hits back at Canada, saying it is "not interested" in interfering in its affairs, after Ottawa warned that China and India could meddle in its election next month. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service issued a warning, claiming that China and India will likely interfere in the polls, adding that Russia and Pakistan could do the same. An inquiry into Canada's past two elections found evidence of foreign interference, but the vote was unaffected. The spy agency says such activity is more difficult to detect due to the use of AI tools and social media. Neha Poonia reports from New Delhi.
