OTTAWA/ NEW DELHI: VANCOUVER, CANADA: Demanding the expulsion of Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma, a large number of pro-Khalistan Sikhs gathered at Indian Consulates in Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, and San Francisco to show their support for Canada and to challenge India’s calls for “nuking Canada” and launching a “surgical strike” to eliminate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, leader of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ).
Sikhs gathered in large numbers at these consulates after SFJ and other Sikh organisations announced that these consulates will be shut down to protest the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Khalistan Referendum’s Canada leader who has been killed by the Indian state agents.
The Sikh protestors were carrying placards calling for justice for Nijjar, the establishment of Khalistan and the expulsion of Verma. The protestors praised Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for telling Indian PM Narendra Singh Modi on his face that India was a sponsor of state terrorism against Sikh activists. The speakers said that India had openly challenged and violated Canadian sovereignty by killing a Canadian national Sikh. They said Canada and the rest of the world have recognised that Sikhs are a victim of Indian terrorism.
The threatening calls to nuke and eliminate were made to PM Trudeau and SFJ General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on the floor of the Indian Parliament and on the Indian nationalist media backed by Modi’s administration.
In a debate on Republic Bharat, a nationalist TV Channel aired comments on September 22 of Rajiv Arora, an Indo-Canadian Hindu who runs Nationwide Immigration Consulting Firm from Canada and India, approvingly participating in the live debate during which open call to “Nuke Canada” was given and PM Trudeau was declared a terrorist for holding Indian agents responsible for Nijjar’s assassination on Canadian soil.
On the floor of the Indian Parliament on September 22, MP Ravneet Singh Bittu while condoning India’s act of assassinating Nijjar, called for carrying out another “surgical strike” in Canada to eliminate Pannun. (Int’l News Desk)
