Canadian MP Labels Khalistan Supporters 'Snakes In Our Backyard'
For years, New Delhi has accused Ottawa of not taking action against pro-Khalistan supporters who have launched several protests, including violent ones against Indian establishments in Canada.
A
Canadian parliamentarian has hit out at
pro-Khalistan activists, calling their anti-India activities in the North American country an "
abuse of rights" and the "promotion of violence and hate."
Chandra Arya, an MP belonging to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party, also warned Ottawa that these radicals would someday "bite to kill."
"Emboldened by non-criticism from elected officials of a recent Brampton parade portraying and celebrating the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her bodyguards, they are now openly calling for violence against India diplomats," he wrote on Twitter. "We should note the snakes in our backyard are raising their heads and hissing. It is only a question of time when they bite to kill," he added.
Arya's remarks about the growing menace of Sikh extremism in Canada come at a time when the Indian government has urged the Trudeau administration to take tough measures against Khalistan sympathizers.
The Indian government even summoned the Canadian Ambassador in New Delhi, issuing a demarche over a planned pro-Khalistan rally in Canada on July 8.
Ahead of this week's protests, Khalistan secessionists released a string of controversial anti-India posters, including one bearing the message "Kill India."
In the promotional material for the protests, they had blamed
Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma, and
Consul General in Toronto Apoorva Srivastava for killing
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the chief of the extremist organization
Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), which is banned in India.
Nijjar was wanted in India for various crimes, including for a murder attempt on a Hindu priest in Punjab state, and carried an INR 1 million (about $12,000) bounty over his head announced by the country's premier terror investigating outfit
National Investigation Agency.
He reportedly lost his life in an inter-gang fight in Vancouver last month.
