In a let­ter to the Cana­dian Prime Min­is­ter, Jus­tice Justin Trudeau, the Sikh po­lit­i­cal body -Dal Khalsa has ex­pressed deep con­cern over the re­cent mur­der of Bhai Hard­eep Singh Ni­j­jar and has ap­pealed for a fair in­ves­ti­ga­tion and jus­tice. To reg­is­ter their protest, they will demon­strate in front of the Am­rit­sar of­fice of the In­dian In­tel­li­gence Agency -RAW on 1 July. WSN re­ports.

DAL KHALSA, UP­HOLD­ING THE RIGHT TO SELF-DE­TER­MI­NA­TION OF THE SIKHS, in a hard-hit­ting state­ment to the me­dia has stated that the killing of Bhai Hard­eep Singh Ni­j­jar in Sur­rey, Canada is part of a broader plan by the In­dian State to tar­get Sikh ac­tivists and cre­ate fear among the Sikh youth, par­tic­u­larly those ad­vo­cat­ing Sikh rule, even though they may be do­ing so by peace­ful and de­mo­c­ra­tic means.

The Dal Khal­sa’s let­ter to Prime Min­is­ter Trudeau comes as part of their on­go­ing ef­forts to ad­dress the in­creas­ing in­ter­fer­ence of the In­dian State in re­li­gious af­fairs and en­sure jus­tice for Sikh ac­tivists fac­ing tar­geted In­dian state-spon­sored vi­o­lence.

Dal Khalsa has high­lighted that Bhai Hard­eep Singh Ni­jhar’s as­sas­si­na­tion in Canada, fol­low­ing the killing of Khal­is­tan Com­mando Force chief Bhai Paramjit Singh Pan­jwar, is a mat­ter of grave con­cern. The or­ga­ni­za­tion strongly sus­pects the in­volve­ment of In­dian in­tel­li­gence agen­cies aim­ing to spread ter­ror among Khal­is­tani ac­tivists.

To pay trib­ute to Bhai Hard­eep Singh Ni­jhar, the Dal Khalsa has de­cided to hold an Ar­das and Shardan­jali Sam­agam at the Dar­bar Sahib com­plex on 1 July.

Trib­utes will be paid to Bhai Hard­eep Singh Ni­jhar at an Ar­das and Shardan­jali Sam­agam at the Dar­bar Sahib com­plex on 1 July.

Paramjit Singh, the spokesper­son of the party said that “We will demon­strate on 1 July out­side the of­fice of the In­dian In­tel­li­gence agency -the Re­search and Analy­sis Wing (RAW) of­fice in Am­rit­sar de­mand­ing an end to il­le­gal and ex­tra­ju­di­cial acts by the In­dian gov­ern­ment, through its agen­cies and a sec­tion of the In­dian Di­as­pora.”

Dal Khalsa Pres­i­dent Harpal Singh Cheema stated, “A group of Dal Khalsa youth ac­tivists, led by Paramjit Singh Mand, will con­vey the mes­sage to the RAW au­thor­i­ties that they too stand as Khal­is­ta­nis and if the thirst for Khal­is­tani blood sat­is­fies them, they should be ready to tar­get them as well. The RAW of­fice was specif­i­cally cho­sen as a demon­stra­tion site, given its re­spon­si­bil­ity for op­er­a­tions on for­eign soil as In­di­a’s ex­ter­nal in­tel­li­gence agency.”
