Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh on June 24 lambasted Canada for its “overt and covert” support to the Khalistan movement, warning that its failure to check anti-India activities being carried out from its soil would be detrimental to its own security, reports Daily Post. Citing findings of the John Major Commission into the 1985 Kanishka Bombing as a clear endorsement of Canada’s failure to act against Khalistanis operating from its soil, the Chief Minister said that by allowing the conspirators of the “mass murder”, the Canadian government had exposed its true intent.” It is more than apparent that Canada has been extending its support to Khalistanis despite New Delhi’s protestations,” said Singh. Pointing out that he himself had been raising the issue with the Canadian government, the Chief Minister said he had even given a list of “wanted terrorists” in Canada to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the latter’s India visit last year. The Chief Minister cited the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s 2018 Public Report to express concern over the fact that anti-India activities were on the rise in Canada.” The report points out that these activities pose a threat not just to the target country India, but also to the security of Canada,” said Amarinder Singh. He added that support to any kind of violence or terrorism would eventually be devastating for the entire global community, including nations that were blatantly backing them.
