A viral video on social media depicts Nijjar advocating for the use of suicide vests to assassinate officials while addressing a gathering inside a gurdwara. He also praises those responsible for the killings of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and former Chief Minister Beant Singh. These revelations have raised questions about the Canadian government’s stance on individuals with extremist views and their potential impact on national security.
TERRORIST: Khalistani man who died in shooting was an active terrorist motivational speaker. He advocated for the killing of officials with suicide vests. I do not know if the India did or didn't do it, but you can see here this man isn't innocent.pic.twitter.com/LCmGa9PABd

Commentators have turned to social media to express their doubts and concerns about the deteriorating relations between India and Canada. The recent decline in relations was triggered by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s assertion that India was involved in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani separatist-terrorist, in June near Vancouver. This accusation has added tension to the already strained ties between the two nations and has led to discussions and debates among commentators and the public.
"This is our legacy!" A reminder of who cheered for extrajudicial executions, like that of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Does NOT mean Nijjar should have been murdered himself – but he also applauded the suicide bomber who killed a Chief Minister of Punjab (and 16 bystanders.) https://t.co/j9XeOVGvDh

Hardeep Singh Nijjar had been a wanted individual according to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). He faced charges related to funding terrorism, conspiring to commit murder, and expressing intentions to establish Khalistan, an independent Sikh state, separate from India. His activities were seen as a threat to India’s sovereignty and national security.
Prominent figures such as clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan B Peterson, former senior journalists Keean Bexte, and Terry Milewski expressed their concerns on social media regarding the Trudeau government’s handling of the Hardeep Singh Nijjar case and its potential implications.
Terry Milewski highlighted that Nijjar had previously applauded extrajudicial executions, including the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Milewski emphasized that this doesn’t justify Nijjar’s own murder but highlights his support for such actions.
Dr. Jordan Peterson criticized the National Democratic Party (NDP) leader, Jagmeet Singh, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and the Liberal Party for involving Canada in the Khalistan issue. Peterson suggested that Canada had become entangled in the matter due to their actions and positions.
The relationship between India and Canada has faced significant strain due to the controversy surrounding the death of the Khalistani separatist-terrorist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar. This ongoing dispute has led to diplomatic actions from both sides.
Canada expelled a senior Indian diplomat, and in response, India expelled a Canadian diplomat and reduced its diplomatic staff. Additionally, India suspended visa services as part of its response to the situation.
India has strongly refuted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claims, labeling them as “absurd” and “motivated.” The controversy surrounding Nijjar’s death has further complicated diplomatic ties between the two nations.
