'Govt has gone deaf': Indian workers facing deportation in Canada to go on full hunger strike
India TV NewsOttawa: After a controversial decision by the local government in Canada's Prince Edward Island to reduce foreign workers, dozens of Indian workers facing deportation have now entered their fourth day of hunger strike in downtown Charlottetown, according to local media reports. One of the protesters said that about 50 workers had already left Canada because of the changes in the immigration rules, and some of the protesters have faced harassment, according to CBC News. Jaspreet Singh Sivia, one of the people who have been speaking for the protesters, said the provincial government abruptly changed immigration rules for people who were already in the process of working towards getting permanent residency in Canada. The new immigration policy sparked a backlash from foreign workers facing deportation in the province, and several of them have been protesting against the decision since May 9.
