Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot and killed in Surrey in June 2023
India’s Foreign Affairs Minister says Canada is his country’s “biggest problem” when it comes to Sikh separatism.
Jaishankar says the protests in Canada have gone beyond the limits of free speech, and he reacted to last week’s arrest by repeating claims that Ottawa allows Indian criminals to immigrate to Canada. “It’s not so much a problem in the U.S.; our biggest problem right now is in Canada,” Jaishankar said, adding the governing Liberals as well as other parties “have given these kinds of extremism, separatism, advocates of violence a certain legitimacy, in the name of free speech.”
“Somebody may have been arrested; the police may have done some investigation. But the fact is number of gangland people, number of people with organized crime links from Punjab, have been made welcome in Canada,” he said.
