TORONTO - A few hundred members of Canada’s Sikh community demonstrated outside the Indian consulate in Toronto on Saturday to protest the unsolved murder of one of their leaders in the Vancouver area last month.
Mr Nijjar, whom India had declared a wanted terrorist, was gunned down on June 18 in Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver that is home to one of the largest Sikh populations in Canada. Mr Nijjar had advocated for the creation of an independent Sikh state to be carved out of parts of northern India and perhaps part of Pakistan. India accused him of carrying out terrorist attacks in India, a charge he denied.
“They have a poster here calling to kill Indian diplomats. We are concerned because these groups have committed terrorist acts in the past and politicians are not taking actions,” one of the counter-demonstrators, Mr Vijay Jain, an IT consultant, told AFP.
