(Reuters) - Canada alleged on Tuesday that Amit Shah, India's interior minister and the chief aide of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was behind plots to target Sikh separatists on Canadian soil.

The allegation follows Canada's expulsion this month of six Indian diplomats it has linked to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader on Canadian soil. India has previously denied Canadian allegations and has responded by expelling Canadian six diplomats.
