The Government of India says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 claim is 91裸聊视频渁bsurd91裸聊视频� after he told the House of Commons on Monday (Sept. 18) there is 91裸聊视频渃redible91裸聊视频� intelligence linking Indian government agents to the June 18 fatal shooting of Surrey Sikh temple president Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45.
The slain Guru Nanak Gurdwara president, an ardent supporter of securing an independent Sikh nation in India called Khalistan, was killed in the parking lot of the temple, located in the 7000-block of Scott Road. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has yet to publicly identify a suspect or reply to the 狈辞飞-尝别补诲别谤91裸聊视频檚 request for comment on Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 revelation.
The Ministry of External Affairs for the Government of India has issued a statement saying 91裸聊视频渁llegations of Government of India91裸聊视频檚 involvement in any act of violence in Canada are absurd and motivated.
91裸聊视频淪imilar allegations were made by the Canadian Prime Minister to our Prime Minister, and were completely rejected,91裸聊视频� it reads.
91裸聊视频淲e reject any attempts to connect Government of India to such developments. We urge the Government of Canada to take prompt and effective legal action against all anti-India elements operating from their soil.91裸聊视频�
Bhupinder Singh Hothi, general secretary of the Surrey gurdwara, said Tuesday that 91裸聊视频渋t was obvious that was going to come91裸聊视频� from India91裸聊视频檚 government. 91裸聊视频淭hey91裸聊视频檙e going to deny it, right. We expected that to come out.91裸聊视频�
He said there will be a 91裸聊视频減eaceful protest91裸聊视频� at the gurdwara next Monday, Sept. 25. On Tuesday two large billboard signs out front were being removed, related to a non-binding referendum vote held there on Sept. 10 in which Hothi said 134,800 Sikhs over eight hours registered their support for Khalistan.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e taking that down because that was put up for the campaign. That referendum, that91裸聊视频檚 done, right. Wave two is coming on Oct. 29,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e actually taking all the signs down, even the signs on the street.91裸聊视频�
Meantime, the World Sikh Organization of Canada called for 91裸聊视频渋mmediate protection91裸聊视频� for Canadian Sikhs who 91裸聊视频渇ace a threat from India and its agents91裸聊视频� on the heels of Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 comments, the significance of which WSO president Tejinder Singh Sidhu said 91裸聊视频渃annot be understated for Sikhs.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淭he Prime Minister of Canada has publicly said what Sikhs in Canada have known for decades 91裸聊视频� India actively targets Sikhs in Canada,91裸聊视频� Sidhu said. 91裸聊视频淚t should now be clear to all Canadians that the Government of India is a terrorist state that has brazenly engaged in extrajudicial killings not only on its own soil, but also on Canadian soil.91裸聊视频�
Sidhu demanded that 91裸聊视频淚ndia cannot be allowed to disregard the rule of law and the sovereignty of foreign states. The killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and other Sikh activists were terrorist acts that must be condemned by the international community. Those responsible for these killings must be immediately brought to justice. India should honour its international obligations and cooperate with the Government of Canada in investigating these matters.91裸聊视频�
Jinny Sims, NDP MLA for Surrey-Panorama, said any kind of interference by an 91裸聊视频渙utside body on our sovereign country is unacceptable.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 against murder or killings of any kind, I91裸聊视频檓 against violence and people getting shot. People need to learn to start using words,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淲hat I can tell you is we will have to let the feds and the RCMP do their job but I can tell you one thing, it doesn91裸聊视频檛 matter which country it is, it is totally unacceptable.91裸聊视频�
Sukh Dhaliwal, Liberal MP for Surrey-Newton, said Canada is a 91裸聊视频渞ule of law91裸聊视频� country and protecting its citizens and defending its sovereignty is of paramount importance. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e got to make sure that we protect that.91裸聊视频�
Asked what kind of stick Canada has if Indian government agents were indeed involved in Nijjar91裸聊视频檚 murder, Dhaliwal said Trudeau has asked the Indian government to 91裸聊视频渄o every effort to cooperate with Canadian agencies.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淚ndia might be a major power but when it comes to the protection of Canadian citizens we cannot leave any stone unturned. We will do everything possible to protect the Canadians and our sovereignty and that91裸聊视频檚 what we will continue to do.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淚 know the community will be feeling very angry and frightened right now,91裸聊视频� Dhaliwal added. 91裸聊视频淚 think its good to make an appeal that we all remain calm and steadfast in our commitment and make sure that the rule of law brings the justice out, and that91裸聊视频檚 all I would like to say.91裸聊视频�
Premier David Eby said he too received a briefing from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) on the allegations.
91裸聊视频淚 am deeply disturbed and angered by this information. Canadians across the country must be safe from the interference of foreign governments, including being targeted for threats or physical harm, including murder,91裸聊视频� Eby said. 91裸聊视频淥ur democracy depends on it.91裸聊视频�
He said in light of the allegations his provincial government will 91裸聊视频渆nhance protection91裸聊视频� for British Columbians 91裸聊视频渁gainst the violence or threats of state actors.
91裸聊视频淚 call, yet again, on the federal government to share all relevant information related to any known ongoing foreign interference and transnational organized crime threats with our provincial authorities and our government, so we may act in co-ordination and protect those at risk.91裸聊视频�
As the investigation continues, he added, he asks 91裸聊视频渢hose who are rightly angry to support justice and accountability through our formal legal systems. It is what makes us strong and is what distinguishes us from those who would act illegally to advance their own ends through threats, assassinations and attacks.
91裸聊视频淲e will win and there will be justice, because it must be so to protect what is best about the province we love,91裸聊视频� Eby said.
The City of Surrey also issued a statement on Mayor Brenda Locke91裸聊视频檚 behalf.
91裸聊视频淭here is an ongoing investigation currently being conducted and I will monitor this very serious incident that has impacted our city and our country,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淚 am confident that law enforcement agencies will ensure that the integrity of Canadian democracy and the safety of our citizens are protected. I hope that this investigation provides Mr. Nijjar91裸聊视频檚 family with the closure I am sure they seek.91裸聊视频�
The Ministry of External Affairs for the Government of India91裸聊视频� statement, in reply to Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 claim, says India is a 91裸聊视频渄emocratic polity with a strong commitment to rule of law91裸聊视频� and that 91裸聊视频渟uch unsubstantiated allegations seek to shift the focus from Khalistani terrorists and extremists, who have been provided shelter in Canada and continue to threaten India91裸聊视频檚 sovereignty and territorial integrity.
91裸聊视频淭he inaction of the Canadian Government on this matter has been a long-standing and continuing concern,91裸聊视频� it reads.
India91裸聊视频檚 statement also chides Canadian politicians whom it claims 91裸聊视频渉ave openly expressed sympathy for such elements91裸聊视频� and that this 91裸聊视频渞emains a matter of deep concern.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淭he space given in Canada to a range of illegal activities including murders, human trafficking and organized crime is not new,91裸聊视频� it charges.
