India Canada Row: Will Khalistan be created on Canadian soil?

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is completely kind to the extremists demanding the creation of Khalistan in India. They are not taking any action on the information given by India about these extremists, rather they are accusing India itself that its diplomat is involved in the murder of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a criminal who is absconding from India. India should stop Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from supporting extremists who support India’s Khalistan. Let it continue like this for some time. Yes, India should continue to warn him publicly. Be strict on Khalistan supporters in your area. If this continues for some time, it is certain that Khalistan will now be created in Canada and not in India. Will be built on Canadian soil.

What Canada is doing today was once done by some leaders of India. He continued to ignore the increasing activities of Khalistan in Punjab. As a result, Hindus living in Punjab were asked to leave Punjab. Attacks started happening on him. Sikh terrorism not only increased in Punjab, but it also started affecting the Terai region of Uttar Pradesh. During this period, religious leader Bhindranwala started becoming increasingly popular in Punjab. It is said that for political gains the then Congress government at the Center started questioning him. The situation was such that Bhindranwala proved to be Bhasmasur for the Congress. He camped in the Golden Temple. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was forced to take the help of the army to expel Bhindranwala from the Golden Temple. Later he was murdered by his own two security guards.

What is happening in Canada today is the result of nurturing Khalistan supporters for 40 years. The pro-Khalistan movement in Canada started in the eighties of the last century. Its roots deepened after Pierre Trudeau became Prime Minister. It was during his tenure that Talwinder Parmar fled to Canada after killing four policemen in India.

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi visited Canada in June 1973 and her personal relations with Pierre Trudeau were cordial. But, Pierre Trudeau rejected the request to extradite Talvinder Parmar to India in 1982. The excuse given for this was that India’s attitude was not respectful enough towards the Queen.

Just a year after Pierre Trudeau left office, Talwinder Parmar masterminded the bombing of Air India Flight 182 (Kanishka) in June 1985, killing all 329 people on board. Although most of those killed were Canadian citizens. Some entire families were killed in this plane crash.

If Pierre Trudeau had accepted Indira Gandhi’s request to extradite Talwinder Parmar to India, the Kanishka plane would not have exploded. Experts of Indian-Canadian politics have started believing that the same mistake that Pierre Trudeau had committed then, his son Justin Trudeau is also committing today. They are making the same mistake by sympathizing with pro-Khalistan militants in Canada to run their government. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has fanned the Khalistani supporters growing up in Canada by making baseless allegations against India. After these allegations of the Prime Minister, Khalistan supporters in different states of Canada started hatching such conspiracies which have created a big threat not only to the Indians living there, but also to the diplomats and the Indian Embassy, ​​but also to the Indian Hindus settled in Canada. There will be danger. Khalistani supporters have prepared for a big demonstration outside the Canadian High Commission and all the Consulates on September 25. Based on the input received by the intelligence agency, it has come to light that some council members in the Gurudwara located in Surrey, British Columbia have hatched a conspiracy regarding this. There is also information that during this entire protest, many former Canadian MPs, leaders and some extremists and Khalistan supporters are moving ahead with dangerous intentions on this matter. Defense experts believe that Khalistan is already on Canadian soil. The Canadian government has been patronizing the supporters. This is the reason why due to the support of the Canadian government, anti-India activities continue in different parts of this country. In the recent past, in the name of Khalistan referendum, the Canadian government has not only been providing security to these anti-India Khalistanis but has also been providing program venues. Recently, a tableau of the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in a procession is also a part of this series. Experts believe that the way the Canadian Prime Minister has made baseless allegations against India, its impact may start showing very rapidly in the next few days. Foreign affairs experts believe that the action taken by the Canadian government towards India is going to have a big impact on the relations between India and Canada in the coming days.

In the wake of the Canadian Prime Minister’s statement, Sikh for Justice (SFJ) leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu has threatened the Hindu community. SFJ’s Pannu has threatened the Hindus of Canada. Pannu has asked him to leave Canada. The Khalistani separatist leader also appealed to Sikhs in Canada to vote in the so-called referendum to be held on October 29 in Vancouver. What Pannu has said to the Hindus of Canada, the same was said at the beginning of terrorism in Punjab. Then the attacks on him started. Even before the threat, attacks on Hindus have started in Canada.

Regarding these threats, Canadian Indian-origin MP Chandra Arya said in an interview with a news channel that the minority Hindu community is scared in view of the increasing threats from Khalistani groups in Canada. There are serious concerns about the safety of Hindu people in Canada. He condemned threats against Hindu people in Canada after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed the Indian government was involved in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey. During the interview, Arya quoted the column of Canadian commentator Andrew Coyne. He had said that ‘there is a danger of communal bloodshed in Canada. After a video of Pannu, a Liberal MP warning about the growing threat of the Khalistan movement, went viral, the Canadian government expressed its disagreement over such actions and stressed that there is no place for hatred in the country.

In fact, Pakistan is nurturing Khalistan supporters in Canada. Canada is supporting them. America is not able to oppose India in today’s situation but its attitude in this matter is also not right. Sikh for Justice (SFJ) leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, who threatened Canadian Hindus, is an American citizen. Pannu is an absconding and rewarded terrorist of India. Despite this, he is living normally in America.

India should continue to be strict towards Khalistan supporters in India. In Canada, cases were registered against those taking action against India and their IOC cards were being confiscated. Take possession of their Indian properties also. Whatever Canada is doing today will be revealed tomorrow. Khalistan supporters will attack Hindus living there. The law and order situation in Canada will deteriorate. When the Canadian government is forced to take strict action, these Khalistan supporters will create trouble for Canada like Bhindranwala.
