Alleged Indian government involvement in plots to assassinate Sikh separatists living in the West

How did you bring ISI into this? I never mentioned Pakistan or ISI.

Aap to khamakha self conscious hogaye. :srt

Uh, maybe it could be because almost every Indian believes that the ISI is funding the Khalistani movement?

Whose payroll do you think they’re under if not the ISI’s?😮
 
Canadian police finally acted to diffuse the attack by Khalistanis on temple worshippers by pinning down a 14 yr old boy Hindu Vikas to the ground George Floyd style.
Police also arrested 2 more Hindus who were asking for justice. 👍

Ps- No Khalistani was harmed in these arrests. What a great nation Canada is under Trudeau.

These illiterate Khalistanis low level workers are not too bright to pull off any coordinated attacks and movements like we’ve been seeing. There is some entity behind them that is funding them.
 
If you are referring to bluestar operation, you must know that the Khalistanis terrorists had started using the gurudwaras to hide from justice. Our govt warned them to come out of the gurudwaras for months and they refused leading eventually to the bluestar operation when the army had to storm in.

It’s like Taliban seeking refuge in mosques while conducting terrorist operations all over the country.

The attack on Hindu maha Sabha temple is nothing but a terrorist act from Khalistanis.

No problem, the sleeping giant has been awakened, it’s time to turn Canada Sanatani. Everyone sit back and relax, the hindus have taken control of Canada and we will cleanse it from the cancer of Khalistanis and white supremacists.
By opening up more motels and dosa places?
 
Lol...Canada has found a new ally after US, Australia
====
Australia (AP) — Australia’s foreign minister said Tuesday she raised allegations with her Indian counterpart that India has targeted Sikh activists in Canada

Foreign Minister Penny Wong said she discussed the Canadian allegations with Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar while he was in the Australian capital, Canberra.

India has denied Canada’s allegation that Indian Home Minister Amit Shah ordered the targeting of Sikh activists inside Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police went public last with allegations that Indian diplomats were targeting Sikh separatists in Canada by sharing information about them with their government back home. They said top Indian officials were then passing that information along to Indian organized crime groups who were targeting the activists, who are Canadian citizens, with drive-by shootings, extortions and even murder.

Canada is not the only country that has accused Indian officials of plotting an assassination on foreign soil. The United States Justice Department announced criminal charges in mid-October against an Indian government employee in connection with an alleged foiled plot to kill a Sikh separatist leader living in New York City.

Off duty Police Sergeant Harinder Sohi is also a Part time Khalistani. He was among the group that protested and attacked Hindu worshippers inside the temple.

Even their law enforcement has been compromised by Khalistani Terrorists. No wonder the Candian police instead of arresting the Khalistani Thugs that attacked Hindus with sticks, they arrested Hindus who were asking police for protection and justice.

I hope Indian government confiscates any property that this criminal has in India.
 
That man must be put away in prison for hate speech.

Also, the Khalistani terrorists must also be arrested for inciting violence. I doubt these Canadian politicians have the guts to do that. They will target Hindus as they are soft and do not risk their property and family.

Either way, the true colors of Canada are showing up. Their anti-India stance is clear to see. It will continue as long as Trudeau is in power.

Maxime Bernier is not a liberal like Trudeau. He is close to far-right (he leads a party called PPC).

Like I said before, this matter is not a liberal or conservative issue. If Indian government continues to do shady things on Canadian soil, they are likely to be called out/prevented. It doesn't matter which party is in power.

Indians actually got benefited due to Trudeau. He was very pro-immigration.

Any call for incite of violence must be handled with force. Be it Khalistanis who attacked the temple or Hindu morons who are inciting attacks on Gurdwaras.

You can call out anyone. But without proper proof you cannot name them in public. Trudeau government is fully in bed with Khalistani movement. They know what they are doing and fully aware of which way things will be going.

Indian immigrants would have gone to other countries as most of them are educated with skills.
Khalistanis who have no skills would not be able to get into other countries unless there are open borders.

So Khalistanis got benefited by Trudeau's horrible illegal immigration program. Not Indian Hindus or Muslims or Christians or Jains.
 
Does this guy think storming Sikh temples in Canada is a good idea? They may get imprisoned or even deported if they do that.

This is not India. LOL.
They are getting arrested without even doing anything. It was an emotional brainless statement. Hence should be in prison or at least fined heavily.
 
Looks like Canada is becoming a battleground between Sikhs and Hindus. For once Muslims are not involved in a conflict. It’s time to sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy! 🤓
 
Horrific scenes as Hindus attack Canadian police


This is a massive red line. Assaulting a police officer.

Here is what the criminal code says about assaulting a Canadian police officer (source: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/section-270.html):
Assaulting a peace officer

  • 270(1) Every one commits an offence who
    • (a) assaults a public officer or peace officer engaged in the execution of his duty or a person acting in aid of such an officer;
    • (b) assaults a person with intent to resist or prevent the lawful arrest or detention of himself or another person; or
    • (c) assaults a person
      • (i) who is engaged in the lawful execution of a process against lands or goods or in making a lawful distress or seizure, or
      • (ii) with intent to rescue anything taken under lawful process, distress or seizure.

  • Punishment
    (2) Every one who commits an offence under subsection (1) is guilty of
    • (a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; or
    • (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.

Canada does as US says. The Democrats under Biden are trying to teach India a lesson for their involvement with BRICS. Canada is simply carrying out what Biden government is telling them to do.

A Trump victory along with conservatives winning in Canada will resolve this Khalistan issue in no time.

If Kamala wins, the situation will worsen. If somehow Trudeau wins again, it is curtains down for India and Canada relations for a long time. He will completely destroy the bilateral relations and trade for appeasing Khalistanis.

You are clueless about Canada. This has nothing to do with BRICS.

This escalated because Indian government was doing shady things on Canadian soil. Any government is likely to react to this.

Are you saying Khalistanis were not present in Canada/USA when conservatives/Republicans were in power?

Khalistanis were present when conservatives were there. But they did not show their ugly head back then. Now that they have found a useful soy boy in Trudeau who is willing to do Bhangra at Khalistani tunes, they are resorting to thuggery and violence.

World politics is a lot bigger and complicated than your GTA knowledge.

If Trump wins, this whole standoff will fizzle out in no time. I just voted Trump too. :cobra

Under Conseratives, Indian government was also not doing shady activities on Canadian soil. So, Khalistanis were peaceful.

Do you think Conservatives would be okay if Indian government keeps on doing what they were doing under Trudeau?

You are just talking stuff out of you know what.
Khalistanis were never peaceful. There is a speech by Stephen Harper where he talked about Khalistanis and their evil ideas to split India. He had full support for India. So Khallis were biding their time until his time as PM was over. Now they found the amazing Trudeau who is weak and spineless who is great at accusing India just to get Khalistanis votes in the upcoming elections.

Conservatives will talk to India instead of accusing them everyday in press. They are not stupid like your soy boy PM.

You are the same person that claimed that no Hindu was harmed when Hasina got kicked out of BD. Pretty awesome 😎

They had to suspend him after the evidence was undeniable. Otherwise they will look like total buffoons.

This begs the question, how many more Clark Kent’s and Superman’s are there in Brampton police Department.

Imagine another country's government doing shady things on Indian soil. Would India be okay with it?

In an ideal world one shouldn’t have any issues with what one does outside his life , the problem is in defense they cannot be subjective.

They should have a 5-on-5 WWE Survivor Series elimination match (Team Khalistan vs Team BJP; winner take all).

Special guest referee: Justin Trudeau

How do you like the idea, @shaz619?

What kind of sanghi Terorirst is moving into Canada? They need to clean up their house with these Hindu sanghi Bharatiya Dharmacharya Terorrists. That clip of Hindudva extremist guy openly asking crowd to storm Sikh worshippers is absolutely stoneage barbarism. All of that crowd attacking cops should be charged with Terrorism and thrown back to their third world Hindudva fanatic land where they openly and casually target minorities

The world is taking notice of what Canada is doing by harboring terrorists in their land. The same terrorists that blew up an Air India flight which killed over 300 people. Shame on Canada. The world is taking notice of the entire story.

Khalistani Terrorists = Canadian Terrorists in reality. They all hold Canadian passport. Khalistan is a fictitious land. Well done Trudeau for exposing your countries intentions.
 
This is the reality of Canadian police and Khalistani Canadian Terrorists.


Canadian police attend the functions organized by Khalistanis that glorify the Kanishka Flight hijacker - Talwinder Singh Parmar and other Terrorists. Shame on them. Clearly shows that their police system is infested by these Khalistanis. We already have that Harinder Sohal who was a cop that also participates in Khalistani rallies. They do not even keep it subtle anymore.

If the world is taking notice, they are generally taking the side of Trudeau in the stories I am reading. India is being portrayed as a rogue state carrying out illegal assassinations on foreign soil. I have not ready any supportive comments of the Indian position. I don't know where you are getting your news stories from.

Not for too long. Their big papa Biden is on his way out. Soon Trudeau will be out too.

Trump is not going to foster enmity with India over Dho Takke ke Terrorists and their fantasies. Just watch how the narrative is going to shift. India is not like your favorite nation that can be expended over irrelevant groups.
 
Hindus are better than Khalistanis. They should not take law into their hands. They can defend when Khallees attack. But they cannot take their anger on public property and cars parked on the streets. They all should be arrested. If they are on visas, they should be deported right away.

Adding to this, you can see Khalistani cops there standing in a booth at 1:09 in the video to hire more Khalistanis into the police force.
The rot is everywhere. No wonder these cops beat up Hindu worshippers in the temple when Khalistanis attacked Hindu Worshippers inside the temple with sticks. This is the reality of Canada. The entire video is one Hindu and India hating festival. When a young generation is constantly taught that India and Hindus are the enemy, they will become super radicalized and become more NIjjars and Parmars.
 
Wow! I hope police has been notified.

These people should be deported.
All of this is being submitted to Peel.

Police. It’s so bad they’ve had to create a separate evidence portal specifically for this.

I was talking about news media which is generally a better barometer than an anonymous poster on a forum claiming the incoming President will whoop Sikh behinds on behalf of the hindutvas.
 

Australia Today banned by Canada hours after outlet aired Jaishankar's presser​


Canada has banned Australia Today, hours after the outlet aired External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's press conference in Australia, where he gave remarks on the India-Canada diplomatic standoff. In a hard-hitting response, India on Thursday said it was surprised by Canada's move to ban the outlet and stressed that it highlighted Ottawa's hypocrisy towards freedom of speech.

Earlier in the day, Australia Today had aired the joint press conference of Jaishankar and his Australian counterpart Penny Wong in Sydney.

 
Pakistani/ khalistani PR doing full propaganda but nothing can do anything to india or Hindu.

I like this fear. Keech ke rakho. :kp
 
Pakistani poster are posting any Xyz fake post regarding this situation. this is a propaganda. But they can carry with anything at the end its doesn't effect india position

Don't think they are posting fake stuff. Those are verifiable.

You are acting like Indians never post fake stuff/propagandas on the internet. LOL.

Not Sikh. But Khalistanis.

There is a big difference between Sikh and Khalistani.

Freelance Journalists writing paid articles is not a barometer to measure and understand what Indians living in the West do. This is the first time I am seeing Indians living in the West taking out their anger on public property and resorting to vandalism. They all should be taught a lesson by putting them behind bars. Everyone knows who started these riots.

Sorry but I won't take definition of who is a Sikh from a hindutva atheist, just as you would not accept definition of a Hindu from Al Qaeda. There is no reason for me to accept that an anonymous hindutva poster's views are more valid than a published article.

If you are going against Hindus, you are not Sikh. Simple as that. Sikh Gurus defended Hindus from Mughal Tyrants. They did not join Mughals to kill Hindus.
You can believe what you want. It does not rewrite history. :kapil

What has that got to do with definition of a Sikh? If Sikhs were loyal to Hinduism they would never have created a separate religion. Can you please stop pretending to be the voice of Sikh reason. You cannot even speak on behalf of Hindus since you consider most of their holy texts nonsense.

Sikh Gurus know where they came from. All of their followers were Hindu converts. They just rejected the Brahminical version of Hinduism, Multiple Gods and rituals.

If Sikhs were oppressed by Hindus, why are there no protests in India the way we are seeing in Trudeau's Kaaaneeda? The Sikhs in India do not want Khalistan? :vk2

Hindus still visit Gurdwaras in large numbers and venerate Gurus. No enmity or hatred there. But the ones that cannot even acknowledge Waheguru's presence are somehow the Shubh-Chintaks (Well wishers) of Sikhs in India.:rolleyes:

I consider all Holy books as human creations to control masses. That has nothing to do with me pointing out the absurdity of
Sikh oppression by Hindus. A lame propaganda by sell outs and loonies.

You can have whatever views you want about Sikhs, but please stop presenting them as representative, when in fact you are an atheist hindutva. Let the Sikhs come here and present their own definitions of who constitutes a Sikh.

Lol..yes Sikh farmer protests never occured in India

Are you saying Sikh Farmer protests are Khalistani Protests? The protesters denied it vehemently when Indian Government accused that some of the protestors were Khalistanis.

Even if some of the Protestors were Khalistanis, those protests were not about Khalistan. They were about Farm reforms.

Where the protests by Khalistanis ala Canada in India? Not even Punjab is seeing of those protests.
 
For some of the Khalistani sympathizers on PP, would you be willing to part with Lahore and a part of Pak Punjab and gift it for the formation of Khalistan?

Remember, the founder of Sikhism Guru NanakdevJi was born in Pak Punjab. Their second holiest site Nankana Saheb is in Pakistan.The first ever Sikh preaching happened in Pakistan.

I am interested in knowing your opinion. (y)
 
He thinks Farm reform protests are for Khalistan nation creation :misbah

Not a single sqeak by any Khalistani supporter (if they even exist) in India so far. With all the issues going in Canada between Khallees and Heendoos, you would think at least some minor skirmishes should happen in India. So far, its crickets.

Just shows the reality of these Khallee separatists and their wet dreams.

Pakistanis are bound to promote anything that they believe is detrimental to India.
 
Who were the killers of Indira Gandhi? 🤔
Her body guards who were upset with the Golden Temple episode.

The real riots started after secular Congress sent goons to either kill or roughen up innocent Sikhs in Delhi who had nothing to do with the killers of Indira Gandhi. This is why every political opponent of Congress still uses it as a campaign weapon against them. Its Congress Party's major Achilles heel till today.
 
India is toast.

The last time terrorism and an Indian were synonymous was when Modi received his ban for his role in Gujrat.

Now, Indian terror is associated with Hindutuva, and internationally too.

Always remember, 5000 years head start, nothing to show for it, other than fleeing Indians.

Now the 5-eyes have confirmed what we knew all along - Saffron terrorism is a euphuism for Hindutuva.
 
Indians plant a bomb on Flight AI182 : Hindutvas "They are Canadians"

Indians kill Sikhs on Canadian soil : Hindutvas "They are Indian terrorists"

So glad the 5 eyes saw straight through the lies of the Hindutva murderous terrorists.
 
Canadian conservative youtubers are worried that since Trump has comeback to power, thousands of illegals living in US are going to invade Canada now. There is going to be severe shortage of housing which is already struggling with its existing population. Woke Trudeau will be forced to take in all the illegals. (y)
 

Snow flake Trudeau Government ca not even handle a presser by Indian FM.​


Canada blocks Australia news outlet airing Jaishankar press conference, India says shows ‘hypocrisy towards free speech’​

Bilateral ties between New Delhi and Ottawa plunged to a new low after Canada blocked an Australian news outlet which aired a press conference by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and his Australian counterpart Penny Wong in Canberra where he made some strong remarks on the India-Canada standoff.

Stating it was “surprised” over the “strange” Canadian move, the Ministry of External Affairs said the action “yet again highlights the hypocrisy of Canada towards freedom of speech”.

Incidentally, Canada and Australia are part of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing alliance that also includes the US, UK and New Zealand.
Hours after The Australia Today aired Jaishankar’s joint press conference with Wong in Canberra, where he voiced concern over the political space being granted to Khalistan extremists in Canada and noted that India had raised the matter with Australia, several users in Canada complained of the news outlet being blocked and questioned the timing.

In New Delhi, responding to a question on the blocking of The Australia Today, Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs, said, “We understand that the social media handles and pages of this particular outlet, which is an important diaspora outlet, have been blocked and are not available for viewers in Canada. This happened just an hour or a few hours after this particular handle carried the press conference of S Jaishankar along with Penny Wong, and the outlet also had several articles on the (Australia) visit of the External Affairs Minister, as also an interview of him. We were surprised. It looks strange to us.”

“But, nonetheless, what I will say is that these are actions which yet again highlight the hypocrisy of Canada towards freedom of speech,” Jaiswal said, also enumerating the three points made by Jaishankar in his response to a question on India-Canada ties.

In Canberra, Jaishankar, in remarks on the Canadian allegations against India over the killing of Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, had reiterated that Canada made the allegations without providing specifics and that it was unacceptable for India that its diplomats were put under surveillance…….
