Pro-Khalistan protesters try to disrupt Indo-Canada business networking event
Hindustan TimesToronto: India’s High Commissioner to Ottawa Sanjay Kumar Verma interacted with business leader in Edmonton, capital of the province of Alberta, as local law enforcement prevented pro-Khalistan supporters from disrupting the event. Members of the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce with India’s High Commissioner to Ottawa Sanjay Kumar Verma in Edmonton, Alberta province on Monday. However, while nearly 200 invitees attended the event, among them was Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi, a former Cabinet minister in the first government formed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2015. The protests are being held in connection with the killing of pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey on June 18 last year, which caused a rupture in the bilateral relationship after Trudeau stated in the House of Commons three months later there were “credible allegations” of a potential link between Indian agents and the murder.
