Canada Accuses India Of Role In Murder Of Sikh Leader

By Emmanuel Nduka

Following allegations by Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that India played a role in the killing of a Canadian Sikh leader, India has strongly rejected the claims, and is already taking actions.

Trudeau had on Monday accused India of involvement in the murder of 45-year-old Hardeep Singh Nijjar who was shot dead outside a Sikh temple on June 18 in Canada.

He said Canada was looking at “credible allegations potentially linking” the killing and the Indian state.

In reciprocity, India on Tuesday expelled a top Canadian diplomat as the row worsened.

This followed Canada’s earlier expulsion of Indian diplomat Pavan Kumar Rai over the case.

Nijjar was shot dead in his vehicle by two masked gunmen in the busy car park of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, a city about 30km (18 miles) east of Vancouver.

The deceased is a prominent Sikh leader in the western-most province of British Columbia who publicly campaigned for Khalistan – the creation of an independent Sikh homeland in the Punjab region of India.

The Sikhs Religious Group

The Sikhs are a religious minority that make up about 2% of India’s population. Some groups have long called for a separate homeland for Sikhs.

In the 1970s Sikhs launched a separatist insurgency in India which saw thousands killed before it was quelled the following decade.

Since then, the movement has been mostly limited to countries with large Sikh populations such as Canada and the UK. There are an estimated 1.4 to 1.8 million Canadians of Indian origin and the country has the largest population of Sikhs outside Punjab.

In the past, India had described Nijjar as a terrorist who led a militant separatist group – accusations his supporters say are unfounded. They say he had received threats in the past because of his activism.

While he appeared in parliament on Monday, PM Trudeau said he had raised the issue of Nijjar’s killing with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the recent G20 summit in Delhi.

“Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty,” he told lawmakers.

On Tuesday, India’s ministry of external affairs said that it “completely rejected” Trudeau’s claims which it described as “absurd” and politically motivated.

“We are a democratic polity with a strong commitment to rule of law,” the ministry said in a statement.

It accused Canada of providing shelter to “Khalistani terrorists and extremists” who threaten India’s security.

“We urge the government of Canada to take prompt and effective legal action against all anti-India elements operating from their soil,” the ministry said.
