The prime minister said that New Delhi was linked to the murder of a separatist leader.
OTTAWA: Canadian Sikhs are grateful to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for giving voice to their fears and standing up to India at the risk of severe backlash from New Delhi, which he said could be linked to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader.
“There’s a lot of fear,” said Sentokh Singh, who was among the small group who protested in front of the Indian high commission in Ottawa this week.Both countries expelled diplomats in a tit-for-tat retaliation after Trudeau’s bombshell announcement last week, but India has gone further, issuing a travel warning and halting visa issuance to Canadians.
Furthermore, one member is Jagmeet Singh, leader of the opposition New Democrats, a left-leaning party that is supporting Trudeau’s minority government. He was told in August by the federal police that his life might be “in peril”, according to a document he was given by police that provided no details about the potential threat.
