Canadian MP Chandra Arya stands against motion to declare 1984 riots as genocide

Op India  

Chandra Arya, Member of Parliament of Canada, shared his strong stance against a motion attempting to label the 1984 anti-Sikh riots as genocide and said that he was the only MP present in the House of Commons to oppose the motion, blocking its passage. The Canadian MP also highlighted the ongoing threats and pressure he faces for voicing concerns of the Hindu-Canadian community and warned that the “politically powerful Khalistani lobby” would likely attempt to push the motion again. Sharing a post on X, Arya said, “Today, the Member of Parliament from Surrey-Newton attempted to have the Parliament declare the 1984 riots in India against Sikhs as a genocide. The only way to prevent Canada’s Parliament from declaring the 1984 riots as genocide is by ensuring that every MP–or at least a significant number of MPs–stand up and say NO when unanimous consent is sought.” Expressing his support for safeguarding the Hindu community, Arya said, “Once again, I call upon Hindu-Canadians to reach out to your MPs and firmly request their opposition to this Khalistani-driven narrative.
