VANCOUVER: Indian consulates in Canada were shut down after Sikh community members take to the streets outside the consulates in Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa and San Francisco, demanding expulsion of Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma.
A number of Sikh organizations including Sikh For Justice (SFJ) had announced that these consulates will be shut down to protest the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Khalistan Referendum’s Canada leader, allegedly by Indian state agents.
The protesters were carrying placards calling for justice for Nijjar, the establishment of Khalistan and the expulsion of Verma.
They praised the Canadian Prime Minister for telling his Indian counterpart that India was a sponsor of state terrorism against Sikh activists. The speakers said India had openly challenged and violated Canadian sovereignty by killing a Canadian national Sikh. They said Canada and the rest of the world have recognized that Sikhs are a victim of Indian terrorism.
SFJ, in collaboration with Punjab Referendum Commission, has announced to hold Khalistan Referendum-II voting in Surrey, British Columbia on October 29th to allow thousands who could not vote on September 10th when the voting closed. The centre for upcoming voting in Surrey is dedicated to “Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar”.
