S Jaishankar Speaks Up For The Sikh Community In Canada Amid “Extremism”

The External Affairs Minister also stated that the ongoing conflict with Canada has been for some time due to the government’s “permissiveness” towards terrorism, extremism, and violence in the country

Washington, D.C. : External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated that the extreme elements are a “small minority” and do not represent the overall Sikh community, emphasising that the Modi government has paid close attention to Sikh community issues.

When asked about the worries of the Sikh community in the midst of the ‘Khalistan’ crisis, Mr Jaishankar responded that the issue does not represent the opinions of the entire community.

“…Everyone is aware of the amount of attention that the Modi government has paid to the issues of the Sikh community in the last 10 years and the suggestions that it has made,” S Jaishankar said during a news conference in Washington DC on Friday.

I do not believe that the conversations that are currently taking place are typical of the entire community (Sikhs). Those who talk about terrorism, separatists whose arguments include violence…these are a small minority, and respective governments should act impartially. We should not treat this as an issue for the entire community.”

The External Affairs Minister also stated that the ongoing conflict with Canada has been for some time due to the government’s “permissiveness” towards terrorism, extremism, and violence in the country.

He claimed that Canada’s “permissiveness” towards terrorism, extremism, and violence is the root of the country’s continuous problems.

“The truth is that for a number of years now, we have had a persistent issue with Canada and the Canadian government. And the ongoing issue primarily centres on the tolerance of terrorism, extremism, and violence, according to Mr. Jaishankar.

He continued, “This permissiveness is also apparent in the absence of responses from their end to several significant extradition requests. In fact, it is not a secret that there are people and organisations in India who have openly admitted to being involved in violent and criminal activity.

Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, said last week that Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist, was murdered by the Indian government.

India, however, has categorically denied the allegations, labelling them as “absurd” and “motivated.”

Notably, Canada has not yet made any public proof of the alleged murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar available.
