The Indian government has expelled Canada’s senior diplomat present in the country. He has been given 5 days to leave the country. In fact, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of killing the Sikh leader. Trudeau said in Parliament – Agents of the Indian government had killed Sikh community leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia, Canada in June.
Trudeau also said that he had raised the issue with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the G20 meeting held in India on September 9-10. They are making such allegations on the basis of the intelligence information received by the Canadian government. At the same time, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolly said that her government has expelled an Indian diplomat from the country, who was the head of Indian Intelligence in Canada. However, Jolly has not given any information about this diplomat.
India said- Canada’s allegations are absurd
India has rejected all the allegations made by Canada. Foreign Ministry said- All allegations of Canada are absurd. Similar allegations were made by the Canadian Prime Minister to our PM Modi and they were completely rejected. Such baseless allegations are an attempt to divert attention from Khalistani terrorists and extremists. They have been given sanctuary in Canada and are a threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.
Trudeau said – will put pressure on India to cooperate in the investigation
Trudeau told MPs – The involvement of a foreign government in killing a citizen on Canadian soil is a violation of our country’s sovereignty. We will put pressure on the Indian government to cooperate in the investigation of this murder. Prime Minister Trudeau said- The large population of Sikhs of Indian origin living in Canada is full of anger over this murder. Many Sikhs are in fear for their safety. There are between 14-18 lakh citizens of Indian origin in the country, many of whom are Sikhs. Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s opposition party New Democratic Party, is from the Sikh community.
Nijjar was included in the list of India’s most wanted terrorists.
Nijjar was a resident of Bhar Singh Pura village of Jalandhar, Punjab. Village Sarpanch Ram Lal told that Nijjar had gone to Canada in 1992. He was the chief of Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF). He was included in the list of most wanted terrorists of Indian agencies. NIA had released a list of 40 terrorists, Nijjar’s name was also there in it. He also played a role in conducting a referendum in favor of Khalistan in Brampton city.

A reward of Rs 10 lakh was announced against Nijjar in Canada.
How these allegations could worsen India-Canada relations
Relations between Canada and India are already tense. This allegation by the Canadian PM is likely to worsen relations between the two countries. PM Trudeau had attended the G20 summit held in India. During this, he had expressed his desire for a bilateral meeting, but PM Modi had refused it. However, there was a pull-aside meeting between the two leaders. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, in this meeting also, Trudeau had accused India of getting Nijjar murdered. This was rejected by PM Modi. After the meeting, Trudeau had said – We always support freedom of expression. Peaceful demonstration is everyone’s right.
Just 6 days after this meeting on September 10, Canada had postponed talks on a free trade deal with India. An Indian official had said on this – discussion related to trade between the two countries will take place only when solutions to other issues are found. Some political activities were taking place in Canada to which India had objected. Until these are resolved, trade agreement negotiations with Canada have been stopped.

Pro-Khalistan organizations on their social media accounts had alleged the involvement of India’s intelligence agency RAW behind Nijjar’s murder. On June 23, two Canadian Sikh organizations, British Columbia Gurdwara Council and Ontario Gurdwara Committee, wrote a letter to Minister of Public Safety Marco Mendicino in this matter.

In memory of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistan organization had taken out Khalistan Freedom Rally in Canada on 8th July. It ended at the Indian Embassy in Toronto.

Nijjar was murdered near a Gurudwara in British Columbia.
Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was the chief of the terrorist organization Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF).

Khalistan movement started 93 years ago in 1929
In the year 1929, in the Lahore session of Congress, Motilal Nehru proposed complete Swaraj. During this time, three types of groups opposed this proposal. One of these factions was of Shiromani Akali Dal under the leadership of Master Tara Singh.
At this time, for the first time Tara Singh put forth the demand for a separate state for the Sikhs. In 1947 this demand turned into a movement. It was named Punjabi Suba Movement.
At the time of independence, Punjab was divided into two parts. Shiromani Akali Dal was demanding a separate Sikh province i.e. Sikh Pradesh on linguistic basis in India itself. The State Reorganization Commission formed in independent India refused to accept this demand. Movements and demonstrations for a separate Sikh state continued for 19 years throughout Punjab. During this period, incidents of violence started increasing. Finally in 1966, the Indira Gandhi government decided to divide Punjab into three parts. Punjab with majority of Sikhs, Haryana for Hindi speaking people and the third part was Chandigarh.
Separatists living in Canada and Europe have been demanding Khalistan for more than 40 years. In 1979, Jagjit Singh Chauhan went to London from India and proposed Khalistan. Singh had presented a map for this Khalistan. Jagjit Singh Chauhan had created an uproar across the world by issuing new Khalistani currency in Britain. In 1980, the Indian government declared him a fugitive and canceled his passport.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Commander of Khalistan Tiger Force, Age- 45 years, Reward- 10 lakhs. Nijjar, who was included in the NIA list, was murdered in Canada on June 18 at 8.30 pm. He was shot by two people who came on a bike outside a Gurudwara in Surrey city. Similarly, on May 6, Khalistan supporter Paramjeet Singh Panjwad was shot in Pakistan. Why both of them were murdered is under investigation, but the intelligence agencies keeping an eye on Nijjar’s case suspect that pro-Khalistan organizations are fighting among themselves. These murders are the result of this.
