Trudeau’s false allegations increase tension in Canada again, SFJ threatens to close Indian Embassy offices

Sikh for Justice, a Khalistani separatist group operating from Canada, has called for peaceful protests and threatened to ‘shut down’ Indian Consulate offices in Canada next week over the alleged killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Nijjar, president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, was allegedly shot dead in the parking lot of the Surrey temple after evening prayers on June 18. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed on September 18 that authorities had received credible intelligence that Indian government agents were behind the assassination.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs has strongly denied the claims and retaliated by dismissing the Canadian diplomat.

According to Global News reports, protests are scheduled to take place outside Indian consulates in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver next week. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, legal advisor to Sikhs for Justice, said that we will not allow Indian consulates to function and we will pressure the Canadian government to reveal the names of the individuals who killed Nijjar and ordered his killing.

India said in a statement that it rejects any attempts to link the Indian government to such developments, calling itself a democratic polity with a strong commitment to the rule of law. The Ministry of External Affairs wrote that ‘We urge the Government of Canada to take prompt and effective legal action against all anti-India elements operating from its soil.

Sikhs for Justice, known worldwide for organizing a referendum on Khalistan, is demanding the expulsion of Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Verma. The alleged killing was described as an attack on Sikhs and Canadian sovereignty. Harkireet Kaur, a member of the North American Sikh Association, said that Hardeep was like a father in the gurudwara.
