Pro-Khalistani Supporters Claim Canada as Their Own, Urge White Canadians to Leave
A viral video has sparked controversy in Canada, showing pro-Khalistani supporters in Surrey, British Columbia, declaring ownership of the country and urging white Canadians to return to Europe and England. The two-minute clip, posted on social media by local journalist Daniel Bordman, captures a “Nagar Kirtan” march, with participants waving Khalistani flags and making inflammatory statements about Canada’s ownership.
Chants like “we are the proprietors of Canada” and claims that “white people should move back to Europe and Israel” were heard, with marchers referring to white Canadians as “invaders.” The video has raised concerns over rising extremism and tensions within Canadian society.
This incident comes amid strained Indo-Canadian relations following the assassination of Khalistani sympathizer Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who India designated as a terrorist. India’s government has criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his perceived leniency towards Khalistani groups, which some believe is tied to securing political support from the NDP’s Sikh-Canadian leader, Jagmeet Singh.
Diplomatic ties between the two countries have been further tested after Trudeau’s admission that allegations against India over Nijjar’s killing were based on intelligence lacking concrete evidence. With ongoing tensions and Canada’s internal political challenges, this latest video has added another layer of complexity to the situation.
