Chandra Arya, a Canadian Member of Parliament, has expressed concerns regarding the safety of the Hindu community in Canada, citing fears stemming from Khalistani extremism. The call was made for the Canadian government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, to acknowledge the dangers associated with Khalistani extremism.
Concerns have been raised by Hindus throughout Canada in light of recent developments. As a Member of Parliament representing the Hindu community, I have encountered these concerns directly. Arya reported that last week, his attendance at a Hindu event in Edmonton was secured by the presence of RCMP officers, following a disruptive demonstration by a group of Khalistani protesters. This statement was shared on the social platform X.
The Member of Parliament stated that Canadians anticipate their national government to work alongside nations impacted by issues such as terrorism and extremism, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding its citizens.
His statement arises in the context of escalating diplomatic tensions between Canada and India, following accusations regarding the involvement of Indian government agents and diplomats in the assassination of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was killed outside a Gurdwara in British Columbia.
Canada and India Issues
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has leveled serious accusations against India, alleging that the country is collaborating with organized crime groups to carry out “violent acts” against Canadian citizens within Canada’s borders.
Arya has called for the revival of diplomatic initiatives between the two nations in light of recent tensions, which have escalated following the mutual expulsion of diplomats. This situation arose after Canada’s contentious decision to interrogate Indian diplomats on its soil.
Recent revelations and developments are affecting the collaboration between Canada and India on this issue. Arya emphasized the urgent need for collective recognition of the significance of tackling cross-border threats linked to Khalistani extremism, urging a recommitment to effective measures against it.
Arya stressed the importance of Hindu-Canadians in Canada speaking out about their safety concerns and urged that politicians be held accountable for their responses to these issues.
“Our community stands out as one of the most educated and successful in the nation, playing a significant role in the advancement of Canada.” “However, politicians frequently misinterpret our low profile as a sign of weakness,” he stated.
Trudeau Government Threat
On October 14, India took the significant step of expelling six Canadian diplomats. This action followed a meeting with Canada’s Charge d’Affaires, Stewart Wheeler, during which India expressed its strong disapproval of what it termed the “baseless targeting” of the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats and officials in Canada.
The Ministry of External Affairs has announced that the actions of the Trudeau Government have posed a threat to their safety. As a result, the Indian government has made the decision to withdraw its High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma, along with other diplomats and officials who have been targeted.
In a significant declaration, officials in New Delhi emphasized their prerogative to pursue additional measures in reaction to what they termed the “Trudeau Government’s support for extremism, violence and separatism against India.”
The Member of Parliament committed to representing the individual’s concerns but emphasized that his solitary actions alone are insufficient. “We must unite to guarantee the protection of our safety and interests,” he emphasized.
