Building a Pro-Khalistan Brigade
Indian intelligence sources have revealed that pro-Khalistan elements in Canada, led by Hardeep Singh Nijjar, have been sponsoring visas for Punjab youths to build a local “pro-Khalistan brigade”. These youths are brought to Canada for medium-skilled jobs and religious duties in gurdwaras controlled by pro-Khalistan elements. They are also provided shelter and low-scale jobs using gurdwaras’ resources.
Involvement of Shiromani Akali Dal-Amritsar
The Shiromani Akali Dal-Amritsar, a political party in Punjab, is said to charge Rs 1-2 lakh to issue a “letter” to Punjab youths seeking political asylum in Canada. They falsely claim that these youths are party cadres being persecuted in India on religious grounds. Upon reaching Canada, these youths are recruited for pro-Khalistan activities.
Canadian Agencies’ Inaction
Indian security agencies accuse Canadian agencies of turning a blind eye to the activities of pro-Khalistan elements in Canada. This lack of action has allowed their clout to grow in gurdwaras across the country. These elements have now started intimidating Hindu members of the local Indian diaspora and threatening to deface their temples.
Khalistan Referendum and Terror Activities
The “foot soldiers” of the Khalistan brigade have been used to mobilize support for the ‘Khalistan Referendum’ campaign of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ). They have also formed alliances with gangsters in Punjab and brought them to Canada in exchange for using their operatives in Punjab for terror attacks.
Canada’s Soft-pedaling
Canadian agencies’ soft-pedaling of pro-Khalistan elements is seen as a major reason for their rise in influence in gurdwaras across Canada. This has emboldened them to intimidate Hindus in Canada and threaten to deface their temples.
Role of Canada-based Gangsters
Canada-based gangsters have been involved in bringing drugs from Pakistan into Punjab and using the proceeds to fund Khalistan activities. Inter-gang rivalries among gangsters from Punjab are now common in Canada.
Conclusion
Indian intelligence officials have expressed concern over the lack of action by Canadian agencies against pro-Khalistan elements. The continued support and sponsorship of visas for Punjab youth, along with the soft-pedaling of Khalistanis, pose a threat to the Indian diaspora in Canada and the security situation in Punjab.
