Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, was born in the Jalandhar district of India, migrated to Canada in 1997 and worked as a plumber in British Columbia. He was designated as a terrorist by due process of Law after investigation by National Investigation Agency (NIA) of India.
This Canadian Terrorist Nijjar was operating from Canadian soil fir long, working to dismember India as a nation. He operated openly with impunity, tactically aided by Trudeau and his intelligence outfits.
In spite of Govt of India making umpteen requests Trudeau took no action. Then this Canadian terrorist got was fatally shot outside a Surrey Gurudwara on June 18 last year by unidentified assailant in an interview gang warfare. As part of a bigger game plan Trudeau has been trying to blame the Govt of India for this killing.
Canada has now made a horrendous mistake by honouring this terrorist in its Parliament. Last time they had honoured an ex Nazi for which the House Speaker had to resign. Deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland stumbled over a question posed to her on why a Canadian terrorist who supports separatism in India, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was on the no-fly list and had his bank accounts frozen before his death, is now being honoured with a tribute in the Canadian Parliament.
In a video that has now gone viral on social media, a journalist asked Freeland on the paradox of honouring Nijjar despite past government actions against him.
The journalist questioned the reason behind this sudden change.
Freeland responded, emphasising the recent solemn anniversary and condemning the murder of the Canadian terrorist on Canadian soil. She praised Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s stance post-assassination, calling it necessary but challenging.
Chrystia Freeland @cafreeland is stumped with this question asking why Hardeep Singh Nijjar who, before his death was on the no-fly list and his bank accounts were frozen, now after his death he is being given tribute in the parliament….what exactly changed?
“I do want to start by saying that this week was a very sad and solemn anniversary of the murder. I was in the House of Commons, and I guess all three of us were (referring to the two men sitting beside her). It was important to have a moment of silence to recognise this was the murder of a Canadian in Canada on Canadian soil, and that is entirely unacceptable. Second of all, I do want to say I was very proud of the prime minister and of the strong position he took after the murder.”
She further stated, “It was the right thing to do, but it wasn’t an easy thing to do.”
Freeland reiterated Trudeau’s commitment to equality under Canadian law and protection against threats, regardless of consequences. However, she evaded direct answers on why Nijjar was on the no-fly list, why his accounts were frozen, or the rationale behind Parliament’s tribute to him.
“The government of Canada will enforce our laws and protect all Canadians regardless of who is threatening them and what the consequences might be. Doing that was a big thing for the prime minister, and I think all of us should feel safer and more secure knowing that he will stand for Canadians and against the killers of Canadians no matter what”, she said.
However, Chrystia Freeland avoided answering the question of why there was sudden support for Nijjar after his death when the same government had put restrictions on him when he was alive.The minister even did not comment on why Nijjar was on the no-fly list, why his bank accounts were frozen, or why such a person was paid tribute in Parliament.
India now must insist on Canada to apologize for this despicable action over Nijjar. In case this does not happen in a given time frame then India must take action in getting Canada expelled from the Commonwealth. In case Britain is not in agreement then India should itself exit from the Commonwealth.
