Captain Amarinder lashes out at Canada for continued support to Khalistani movement

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday accused the Canadian government of overt and covert support to the Khalistani movement, citing a 2018 public report released by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and expressed concern over the fact that anti-India threat-related activities had been on the rise within Canada.

In a statement released in Chandigarh, Capt. Amarinder said the CSIS report pointed out the anti-India activities constituted a threat not only to India but also to Canada too. He said support to any kind of violence or terrorism would eventually be devastating for the global community, including nations blatantly backing them.

Capt. Amarinder urged the BJP-led government at the Centre to take serious cognizance of these reports and disclosures to mount global pressure on Canada to put an end to the use of its soil to unleash terror against India, particularly the Sikh community being targeted by the Khalistani terrorists.
