This week, the Narendra Modi executive in India despatched a demarche to the Justin Trudeau-led Canadian executive urging that it halt the purported Khalistan referendum deliberate by way of a banned organisation for November 6 in Ontario since it might violate India’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. A most sensible Ministry of Exterior Affairs authentic delivered the demarche to a senior authentic of the Canadian Top Fee, and the Indian Embassy in Ottawa would additionally put across India’s deep fear to World Affairs, Canada, within the upcoming week.
A purported referendum on Khalistan was once hung on September 19 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. It was once organised by way of the pro-Khalistani outfit Sikhs For Justice. Over 100,000 Canadian Sikhs reportedly grew to become out to take part within the “referendum.” Regardless of vehement objections from the Indian executive, the Canadian executive let the so-called referendum continue. In keeping with SFJ, they’re going to touch the UN and different world organisations upon getting the Canadian Sikhs’ acclaim for the Indian state Punjab’s independence from India.
On September 22, MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi referred to as the so-called Khalistan referendum as a ‘farcical workout’ and conveyed India’s issues over using Canadian territory by way of politically motivated extremists towards India.
Regardless of pointing out on September 16 to recognize India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and assuring that the Canadian executive won’t recognise the so-called referendum, the Trudeau executive because of its vote financial institution politics evaded preventing the primary segment of the referendum which happened in Brampton. The Trudeau executive has introduced an ordinary excuse that folks in his nation have the fitting to gather and specific their perspectives peacefully and with out violating the regulation, in spite of India elevating the problem of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) run by way of Sikh extremist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu with the Canadian executive and nationwide safety businesses.
Indian safety businesses and senior officers warned Canada that if the Trudeau executive fails to forestall the Khalistani extremists from brainwashing Sikh youths and controlling Gurudwaras, they’ll finally end up carving out a Khalistan in Canada.
Particularly, the Indian executive on September 23, issued an advisory for Indians visiting Canada. MEA steered Indians to workout warning within the wake of higher hate crime anti-India actions in Canada.
As a substitute of taking motion towards the perpetrators of hate crimes towards Indians and specifically Hindus, the Trudeau executive issued a counter-advisory on September 27 advising Canadians to steer clear of touring to the spaces 10 kilometres within the neighborhood of the world border with Pakistan in Punjab, Gujarat, and Rajasthan bringing up ‘unpredictable safety scenario and presence of landmines and unexploded ordnance.’
Lately, hate crime towards Indians has higher in Canada. On September 14, In Toronto, a number of Khalistani terrorists spray-painted anti-Indian messages at the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple. The Hindu temple’s partitions have been painted with the slogans “Khalistan Zindabad, Hindustan Murdabad.” The Indian Top Commissioner in Ottawa had condemned the assault and demanded motion to be taken, on the other hand, no sturdy motion has been taken towards the culprits until now.
We strongly condemn defacing of BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir Toronto with anti-India graffiti. Have asked Canadian government to research the incident and take steered motion on perpetrators. @MEAIndia @IndiainToronto @PIB_India @DDNewslive @CanadainIndia @cgivancouver

Even supposing the Trudeau executive maintained that it does now not recognise the SFJ-backed so-called Khalistan Referendum, Canada’s Nationwide Democratic Celebration (NDP) has brazenly declared its fortify for the Khalistan Referendum in Canada, bringing up it as a elementary human proper granted to the Canadian Sikhs by way of native and world rules. NDP chief and MP Jagmeet Singh have subsidized the referendum. When requested about the similar by way of the native media, he mentioned, “Some individuals are spreading incorrect information to create department, distract and lie to the general public. The easy reality is that everybody has the unalienable proper to pursue impudence via a referendum.”
Now, the truth that NDP is an best friend of the Trudeau executive is what would possibly steered a powerful response from the Modi executive which is already hanging drive at the Canadian executive towards the upward push of pro-Khalistan actions within the nation.
