Capt. Amarinder Singh has always made it clear he thinks Canada is soft on alleged Sikh extremists in this country.
The Punjab chief minister urged India’s national government “to mount global pressure on Canada to put an end to the use of its soil to unleash terror against India, particularly the Sikh community being targeted by Khalistani terrorists.” It’s unclear what prompted the latest outburst, although it follows a decision by the federal government in April to remove specific references to Sikh extremism from a contentious Public Safety Canada report on terrorism.The Indian government has also voiced concerns over Canadian politicians’ approach to Sikh nationalism, but the Indian High Commission in Ottawa did not reply to a request for comment.
Singh suggested the Punjab leader may simply be angry that Canada barred him from coming here in 2016 to campaign among the Indian diaspora, a group considered to have considerable influence and financial clout in Punjab politics. Peaceful support for an independent Khalistan in India is strong among leadership of Sikh temples in Canada — with some “gurdwaras” displaying portraits of alleged extremists — and Canadian politicians have for years now reached out to such leaders as they court the powerful Sikh vote. One of the guests on Trudeau’s ill-fated India trip in February 2018 was Jaspal Atwal, convicted of attempting to assassinate an Indian cabinet minister in 1986.
In his statement, Singh referred to the list of “wanted terrorists” he provided to Trudeau last year but said “the lack of response from their government so far has exposed their intent.”
Well one province is cracking down.
You know Sikh extremism is ravaging our country lol

I missed something. We have lots of Sikh extremists? Where? What are they doing?
