While the report acknowledged that "foreign interference" had not influenced election outcomes, it said such activities had eroded public confidence in the electoral system.

"We have taken note of a report concerning alleged activities linked to purported interference. However, it is, in fact, Canada that has been repeatedly involved in India's internal matters," the External Affairs Ministry said.
