The murder of the Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian Soil has been deemed as intergang warfare, over power, money, and territory. But the Khalistani vote bank of Justin Trudeau backed by Pakistani yellow journalism is determined to smear India’s name for global sympathy.
Former Pentagon official Michael Rubin who had firsthand accounts with Pakistani Authorities in 2019 on his visit to Pakistan, condemned the Khalistani extremism and asserted Pakistan’s sponsorship of this terrorist group. Calling for “human rights” for declared terrorists, harboring them, providing them with ammunition, and setting up launch pads is Pakistan’s USP. Whether it was the absconding Osama Bin Laden, the American 9/11 mastermind, or Hafiz Saeed, the architect of the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, among countless examples, Pakistan welcomed them with open arms. These most-wanted terrorists received guest treatment and support from the Pak Army.
There is enough evidence against Nijjar that supports his criminal background starting with his fake passport. No dossier or investigation records have been shared with the Indian government, and no Canadian Agency has accused India in this case. Moreover, it is no secret that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police questioned three ISI operatives in Canada – Rahat Rao, Tariq Kiyani, and Gurcharan Pannun concerning Nijjar’s murder. The Khalistaani movement which amassed wealth and power through narco-terrorism and the appointment of Khalistanis in the government was standing up to its investors, the ISI, the biggest suspect and beneficiary of Nijjar’s death.
This isn’t the first time ISI has had a threat eliminated on foreign soil. The story of Karima Baloch is still fresh memory. The world has not forgotten the social activist who fought against the oppression of Balochistan by Pakistan and was later forced to take refuge in Canada because of threats to her life. At the time of her unexplained murder in 2020, the world knew little of how far the Pak establishment’s terror network had expanded. Pak has exposed its terrorist DNA entirely by shifting the blame to India while shabbily covering up the Nijjar case.
The allegations aside, by constantly glorifying Khalistanis in international media and calling terrorists “innocent citizens”, Pakistan has again proven its radical mindset. Local Pakistani Canadians have also joined Khalistanis to terrorize Hindu youth in the Canadian metropolis. Unchallenged and vociferous, together they are threatening students and Indian-origin citizens, vandalizing their private properties. They have taken over Gurudwaras (Sikh and Hindu houses of worship) and converted them to ammunition safehouses and secret hideouts; an attempt to enter is an invitation to death.
Canada under Pakistan-sponsored Khalistan is precisely described by Khalil Gibran, “Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero, and that deems the glittering conqueror beautiful”.
Playing both sides, Pakistan’s ISI not only (unsuccessfully) tried an uprising against India over Khalistan, but also executed Paramjit Singh Panjwar, the chief of Khalistan Commando Force and a declared terrorist by India, near his house in Lahore on 6th May 2023. A guest of the ISI since 1990, Panjwar was a deadweight to Pakistan, and Pakistan is no longer tolerating the tall demands of the group.
The premise of the “supposed” Khalistani movement is the creation of a separate state of Khalistan which will include present-day India’s state of Punjab, Pakistan’s province of Punjab (including Lahore), and Indian states of Himachal Pradesh, and Haryana. If truly the Khalistanis desired their separate land, their claim begs the question, why are they not fighting Pakistan for Lahore? Unless both of them are in bed together conspiring against India.
This is why under the patronage of their leaders, the Pakistan Army and the ISI, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a sister separatist organization of Nijjar’s Khalistan Tiger Force, published a new map of Khalistan in October 2021. Not surprisingly the new map omits all parts of Pakistan that were supposed to be Khalistan, and demands even more territories of other states of India!
It is because SFJ is just another sham organization, a terror front face of Pakistan. The Khalistani movement has credibility only among Pakistanis.
Emboldened by Pakistan, the Khalistanis have threatened harm to Indian diplomats under Trudeau’s rule. On the eve of the recent festival of Dussehra, while raising anti-India slogans, Khalistanis in Canada have burned Indian flags and effigies of Prime Minister Modi depicting him as Raavan (the evil King from Ramayana). They also defaced Hindu temples; writings on the walls pledged to wipe out Hindus. The movement is not a fight for the rights of Khalistan but a death threat to Hindus. And before that the demise of the democratic Canada.
Michael Rubin’s statement against Canadian authorities should be a wake-up call for Canadians – “Nijjar wasn’t just a plumber, any more than Osama Bin
Laden was a construction engineer. He had blood on his hands; (Nijjar’s case is that of) Transnational terrorism”
Bangladesh supremo Sheikh Hasina also warned Canada of harboring Pakistan-sponsored extremists, reminding the world how Pakistan Army officials massacred her family and killed her father Mujibur Rahman (also the founding father of Bangladesh) in his house in 1975. The killer of her father, Noor Chowdhury, has been living in Canada since Hasina assumed office. The Canadian government has refused to extradite this terrorist who faces a death sentence in Bangladesh.
The soft-heart for Pakistan, and the Pakistani pawns Khalistan, will be a rough bargain for Trudeau’s Canada.
