Khalistani referendum: India asks Canada to denounce move by 'Sikhs for Justice'

Ahead of the so-called referendum by the Sikhs of Justice on November 6, India has asked Canada
to denounce the move and act against those who promote terror and violence against New Delhi.

The High Commission in Ottawa has served a demarche’ on the Executive Director of Global Affairs Canada in Ontario stating that the so-called referendum in Paul Coffey Arena in Mississauga would be the second unlawful exercise after the proscribed SFJ had organized another such exercise on September 18 at Brampton, Ontario.

It has asked the Justin Trudeau government to stop the so-called referendum and ensure that no Canadian government property is used to spew hatred or call for violence against Indian people.

India has informed Canada that such anti-India activities were being promoted by violent terrorist organizations that advocate the killing of innocent civilians.

While the Canadian government is expected to resort to plea that it cannot stop free airing of views as part of liberal speech, the Indian High Commission has informed their counterparts that the referendum organizers are trying to polarize the Indian community and radicalize Sikh students by asking them to vote in the Nov 6 exercise.
