Canada: India urges strong measures from Trudeau government to prevent protests near missions, consulates
India has taken action by serving a demarche on Canada, calling for strong measures to be implemented by the Justin Trudeau government to prevent protests organised by pro-Khalistan terrorist outfits. The demonstrations are set to occur outside the Indian High Commission in Ottawa, as well as two consulates in Toronto and Vancouver on July 8. The primary concern is to avoid incidents such as desecration of the Indian flag, affixing pamphlets or items to the boundary fence, and throwing projectiles into Indian diplomatic premises in Canada.
The protests orchestrated by the US-based proscribed organisation SFJ, with its main link in Canada being Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Nijjar, involved in inter-gang warfare, was tragically killed in Surrey, Vancouver on June 19. Exploiting this incident, SFJ aims to falsely implicate Indian security agencies, raise funds, and radicalise Sikh youth against the Indian diaspora in Western countries.
It is worth noting that SFJ's campaign, led by terrorist G.S. Pannu, has also targeted the Indian consulate in San Francisco, with Pannu receiving lenient treatment in the West, particularly in Canada and the UK. The Indian High Commission in Canada has requested the Federal Government to take comprehensive safety precautions.
