During Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent visit to India, the Indian government once again highlighted the presence of pro-Khalistan elements in Canada. While these concerns were conveyed to the Canadian PM, a Khalistani referendum took place in Surrey, Vancouver, at the Guru Nanak Singh Gurudwara.
During the gathering in Canada on September 10, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the leader of the banned US-based Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) organization, issued threats against several top Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and External Affairs Minister Jaishankar. Pannun’s provocative remarks included calling for vengeance for the assassination of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was killed in Canada earlier this year.
At this event, attended by about 5000 to 7000 people, Pannun delivered a provocative speech against India and spoke of “Balkanising” the country.

Prime Minister Modi had previously expressed concerns about anti-India extremist activities in Canada during his discussions with PM Justin Trudeau at the G20 Summit. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs emphasized the need to address these concerns, citing incidents of promoting secessionism, inciting violence against Indian diplomats, and threats to the Indian community and their places of worship in Canada.
In response, Justin Trudeau emphasized Canada’s commitment to defending peaceful protests while strongly opposing violence and hatred.
