Bharat Rakshak

What could be more grotesque than this Khalistani bid to exploit tomorrow's 39th anniversary of the Air India bombing? They claim to "stand in solidarity with" the victims - but simultaneously glorify the maniac who slaughtered them as a great hero!

They imagine we won't notice the jaw-dropping hypocrisy: using Parmar, the Air India bomber, as the martyred poster boy for their referendum campaign - while telling us how sad and outraged they are about his 331 innocent victims. Huh? How is that supposed to work?

They want us to ignore the abundant proof that Parmar ordered the bombs from Reyat and got the tickets used to check in those bombs - whose remnants "conclusively" matched parts bought by Reyat. There's no fantasy bomb or bomber - just Parmar's tickets and Reyat's bombs.

One more detail. The idea that "Indian agents did it" rests on their not taking the flight. So...did they buy tickets, check in bags but never board? No. Only the bombers did that. And lots of people avoided Air India because of the threats. From an RCMP affidavit:

So when Khalistanis befoul the anniversary with lies about their deep concern for the victims, note that they still hail the bomber as their martyred champion - but never show what's wrong with the proof that convinced 3 criminal trials and a judicial inquiry that he did it[ /quote]

HAPPENING NOW: Khalistani terrorists sympathizers come to harass and disrupt a service arranged by the families of Air India flight 182. These sickos are like if Nazis came to a Holocaust memorial in “support”

similarly, as the Canadian Parliament is in effect, enabling/supporting terrorism in India, ALL Canadian civil servants MUST be refused visas to travel to India. We should publicly announce this.

On 22nd June, the Globe and Mail published a report on Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar whose murder was remembered with a minute of silence in Canadian Parliament. In the report, the news portal explained how Nijjar was not only involved in running terrorist camps but also visited Pakistan, was on the no-fly list in Canada, had contacts with Khalistani terrorists and was involved in anti-India activities.

Hardeep Singh Nijjar was a controversial figure. He was designated as a Khalistani terrorist by the Government of India. He was killed on 18th June 2023 in a possible gang war. However, the Canadian government blamed the Government of India and Indian agents for killing him. Notably, four persons who were arrested in his murder case in May 2024 were associated with the Lawrance Bishnoi Gang.

Nijjar was a Sikh separatist leader who propagated the demand for a separate Sikh nation, Khalistan. He was living in Surrey, British Columbia Canada and was chief of Guru Nanak Gurdwara.

Early life and influence of Khalistani terrorist
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was born in Punjab in the 1970s. During his early life, his family used to provide shelter and food to Khalistani terrorists who were on the run from the law enforcement agencies. Globe and Mail talked to his associates and old friends who confirmed that Nijjar was highly influenced by Khalistani ideology and supported a separate Sikh nation.

In 1995, then-Chief Minister of Punjab, Beant Singh, was killed in a bomb blast. Following the assassination of the CM and 17 others by Khalistani terrorists, the law enforcement agencies came down heavy on the terrorists and their supporters. Nijjar escaped India and fled to Canada using the fake identity of a Hindu man. Ravi Sharma was the name on his passport. Reports revealed that he had trimmed his hair and beard to look like a Hindu man and conceal his Sikh identity.

After reaching Canada, he tried to get refugee status claiming he was tortured by the state police. However, as he consistently denied any involvement in Khalistani activities or association with armed terrorists, the immigration agencies did not provide him with refugee status. However, he continued to live in Canada and eventually was provided permanent residency followed by citizenship.

Life in Canada and association with Khalistani activities
With time, Nijjar became a significant figure within the local Sikh community. He ran a small plumbing business and became an active member of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara. Over the years, he developed deep relations with pro-Khalistani elements and got involved in anti-India activities.

In 2015, he was accused of running a terror training camp in British Columbia, a claim that he had denied. However, an investigation was initiated against him by the RCMP but he was never charged. RCMP officials claimed while speaking to Globe and Mail that if he was associated with any terror activities, they would have taken action against him.

Khalistan advocacy
Nijjar wanted a separate Sikh state, Khalistan in India. He repeatedly called for violence and armed revolt against Indian authorities. Globe and Mail got access to a video from 2021 in which he urged Sikhs to take up arma and criticised those who preferred peaceful activism. This stance solidified his reputation as a dangerous figure in the eyes of the Indian government. However, his supporters argue that his rhetoric was a reflection of the warrior imagery prevalent in Sikh culture rather than actual incitement to violence.

Nijjar was a close associate of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Khalistani terrorist and founder of the terrorist organisation Sikhs For Justice. Pannun poses as an advocate and practices law in New York. He was Nijjar’s counsel as well. Nijjar actively promoted the Khalistan Referendum that was initiated by Sikhs For Justice. Khalistan Referendum is a mock voting campaign initiated by Sikhs For Justice to show how many Sikhs around the world support the call for a separate Sikh nation.

India’s allegations against Hardeep Singh Nijjar
India has accused Nijjar of involvement in several violent incidents, including the 2007 bombing of a cinema in Ludhiana and an attempted murder in 2021. National Investigation Agency has named him in the case of the attempted murder of Hindu leader Kamaldeep Sharma.

In 2015, Indian agencies apprehended Mandeep Singh Dhaliwal who was a Surrey resident during his visit to India. A few days later, it was revealed that he was associated with a Khalistani terror training camp in Canada. He told Punjab police during interrogation that he had plans to carry out terror activities in Punjab and was sent by Nijjar to attack leaders of Sects. Furthermore, he informed the police that he was working with another terrorist to get arms and ammunition from Pakistan.

Globe and Mail talked to two people associated with Dhaliwal. They told on the condition of anonymity that Dhaliwal attended an arms training camp in 2015. Furthermore, five other Sikh radicals also took training at those camps. They were trained by Nijjar to operate weapons and GPS. They also learned how to communicate securely and did target practice at three different sites in the Lower Mainland.

Nijjar was also linked to gangster-turned-terrorist Arshdeep Singh Gill or Arsh Dala. He is the head of the Dala Lakhbir gang which uses Canada as a base for running an extortion ring in Punjab.

Hardeep Singh NIjjar visited Pakistan
In 1995, Jagtar Singh Tara, a Khalistani terrorist, was convicted and sentenced to life in the Beant Singh murder case. In 2004, he dug a 94-foot tunnel by hand and escaped from prison. Tara managed to flee to Pakistan where he spent years managing the terrorist group Khalistan Commando Force and its sister organisation Khalistan Tiger Force.

In 2013, Nijjar went to Pakistan and spent time with Tara. There are photographs available in the public domain where Nijjar was seen with Tara on the top of a Gurdwara in Pakistan. The t-shirt he was wearing in that photograph was the same one he was wearing in another photograph carrying an AK-47 assault rifle. According to Globe and Mail, the group photograph was taken outside Lahore in a Gurdwara. Another Sikh man from Surrey had gone with Nijjar whose daughter confirmed that the photograph was genuine.

Tara then appointed Nijjar to take over KTF. However, the Globe and Mail report claimed that Nijjar refused the offer. Later, in 2015, he told a group of senior Sikh community members that he was not “dumb enough” to take charge of a terrorist organisation in Canada. Contrary to this report, India has repeatedly accused Nijjar of being chief of KTF. KTF organised prayers for him after his death making it evident that Nijjar was associated with the terror outfit.

Assassination and diplomatic fallout
On 18th June 2023, Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed by two gunmen as he was leaving the Gurdwara. His death prompted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to claim that there were credible allegations of Indian government involvement. It led to a major diplomatic crisis between Canada and India. This accusation has been vehemently denied by Indian officials. India has repeatedly requested credible evidence of Indian agents’ involvement but Canada has failed to provide any. India has time and again called out Canada for allowing anti-India terrorist elements to flourish under Canadian political support.

While Canada accuses India of killing a Khalistani terrorist on Canadian soil, Canada’s own media houses are coming out with proof that he was indeed involved in terrorist activities. These reports are coming at a time when Canada remembered him with a minute of silence in its Parliament days ago.

A message to Canada, a nation so fair,
May India-Canada relations soar to new heights, with care.
Remember the past, the scars that remain,
Kanishka Air India flight, 329 lives lost in vain.
Let us not forget, the tears that were shed,
The families that suffered, the lives that were dead.
Recent activities too, that sought to divide,
Must be addressed, for a stronger bond to reside.
Let us join hands, to build a future bright,
Where terrorism has no place, day or night.
May our friendship grow, based on trust and respect,
And together we rise, with love and inspect.

Made a mistake with सब का साथ....... Repeating it again.

These performative displays of impotence are creating a backlash among white Canadians. It is openly said that Sikhs should take their tribal fights and leave Canada. It is unfortunate it has come to this.

I expect matters to affect Canadian law and order and security. There have been boasts that the police dare not enter Sikh areas or confiscate weapons. There was a YouTube video featuring one intelligent dude declaring this publicaly.

Of course I don’t really care what they do, as long as Canadians are learning to distinguish between Hindus and Sikhs. Not that many care to make the distinction, but many others do.

sanjaykumar wrote: ↑09 Jul 2024 20:47 Yeah. That statue was an eyesore. At the least questionable aesthetics and judgement.

Do the you think some louts revving their engines in Kaneda is going to produce Khalistan? Do the Sikhs?

Follow the money trail. Who gets to control the gurdwara donation plate? Who gets to play leader?

This is a consequence of ghettoisation. Working class people. Limited skills. Low educational achievement. Racism. Limited English. Add some jealousy. You get the sound of engines running. Mistaken as accomplishment.

It is bankrupt, they already suffer from daily violence, Lahore can be on the agenda at any time. And most of all, India is just too powerful to entertain any serious escalation. They WILL launch attacks all across west panjab.

They will not attack Sindhi except Karachi, nor Baluchistan. Just as they did not attack east Pakistan 1965.

Pakistan is about ripe to collapse into its constituents. Sikhs actually have a historic opportunity to claim a piece of the fragments.
