JOIN USThe Canadian government has decided to close the investigations into the “brazen threats” issued in April by the pro-Khalistanis against Capt Amarinder Singh.
The Punjab Congress on Sunday urged the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to take up the matter with the Canadian prime minister.
A formal complaint was lodged by the Indian High Commission in Ottawa to Global Affairs-Canada in April after videos of the April 22 Baisakhi Day event in British Columbia’s Surrey city surfaced.
The videos showed pro-Khalistani elements issuing threats as part of the hate speeches made by Sikh radicals operating from Canadian soil.
The Congress on Sunday said the MEA should seek the intervention of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau to ensure that those guilty of using the country’s soil to issue open and violent threats to the Punjab chief minister are not allowed a free run.
‘Put pressure on Canada’
The Congress has called for activation of all international diplomatic channels to put pressure on the Canadian government to take necessary steps to check the proliferation of anti-India forces on their soil.
The Congress said that Canada should be asked to reopen the case. The party said it was evident that a proper inquiry had not been carried out.
