Several Ontario Liberal candidates call for removal of Viresh Bansal after 2023 social media post comes to light
The suspension for Viresh Bansal comes after several Liberal candidates called on leader Bonnie Crombie to dump him.
Bansal posted a response in 2023 to an NDP statement on the killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the government had “credible allegations” linking agents of the Indian government to the fatal shooting in B.C.Bansal wrote an apology after the World Sikh Organization of Canada called on Crombie to withdraw him as the Liberal candidate.“You can thank India for cleaning trash people.
“Since his history of despicable comments has come to light, I have repeatedly heard from residents of Mississauga-Malton who have expressed anger and disgust at his hateful remarks about members of our community,” Haroon wrote.
