Khalistani separatists don't represent Sikh community in Canada: Justin Trudeau

Hindustan Times  

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for the first time, has said that Khalistani separatists do not represent the Sikh community in Canada. Attendees use their phones to record Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as he delivers remarks at the Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas on the Hill celebration in Ottawa, Ontario, ob Monday, Trudeau made this remark during an event in Ottawa’s Parliament Hill on Monday to celebrate Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas. Trudeau said, “There are many supporters of Khalistan in Canada but they do not represent the Sikh community as a whole.” His comments came a day after the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton witnessed a violent attack by pro-Khalistan elements, which led to tensions developing as a furious Indo-Canadian community challenged the separatists. However, he did not spare New Delhi, as he said, “There are many supporters of the Modi Government is Canada but they do not represent all Hindu Canadians as a whole.” Reacting to Trudeau’s remark on not conflating Sikhs with Khalistanis, former British Columbia Premier Ujjal Dosanjh said, “In my memory of him, this is the first time he is acknowledging the Sikh community as separate from Khalistanis.” Dosanjh was also a former Liberal Party Cabinet Minister at the Federal level.
