The Murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the president of a Sikh temple and an advocate for the creation of an independent Sikh state, Khalistan, was fatally shot on June 18 in Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver with a significant Sikh population. India had previously labelled Nijjar a wanted terrorist, alleging his involvement in terrorist attacks within the country, a charge he denied. The Sikh community in Canada believes that Nijjar's murder was a politically motivated assassination.
Calls for Investigation and Political Interference
Protesters demanded that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) thoroughly investigate Nijjar's murder as a political assassination. They argued that the Canadian government should treat the case with the same urgency and seriousness as any other act of violence against a Canadian citizen. Some members of the Sikh community expressed concerns about foreign interference, accusing the Indian government of involvement in the crime.
