SURREY, B.C.
— Organizers of an unofficial worldwide referendum on Punjabi independence have added a question to the ballot in British Columbia asking if India's high commissioner was responsible for the killing of a prominent provincial Sikh leader in June.
It says the second stage will be held on Oct. 29 and will add a second question about whether High Commissioner Sanjay Verma was responsible for the"assassination" of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.The Sikh independence movement has angered India's government, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing"strong concerns" to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about Canada's handling of the issue.
Homicide investigators have said they are seeking two"heavy-set" gunmen and the driver of a getaway car, a silver 2008 Toyota Camry. India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement that Modi told Trudeau on the sidelines of last weekend's G20 summit in New Delhi that progress in the countries' relationship required"mutual respect and trust."
