''[[The Times of India]]'' reported that an initial probe by the Modi government, into the source of the toolkit that Thunberg posted, suggested that it was put together by the [[Poetic Justice Foundation]] based in Vancouver, and that the toolkit had a plan to carry forward the "malign Indian campaign", even if the government repealed the laws. According to one official, "This showed how sinister the entire campaign was".<ref>{{Cite web|date=February 5, 2021|first=Akhilesh|last=Singh|title=Farmers protest: Canada-based pro-Khalistani outfit blamed for organising Twitter toolkit|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/farmers-protest-canada-based-pro-khalistani-outfit-blamed-for-organising-twitter-toolkit/articleshow/80695955.cms|access-date=2021-02-05|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref> | |||
