Sikhs for America founder Jasdeep Singh openly expressed his opinion on the Khalistan movement and the growing tension between india and Canada. His statement came at a time when the doors of new possibilities have opened with the change of power in Canada. Jasdeep Singh believes that Justin Trudeau's tenure proved to be fertile ground for Khalistani influence, but now the situation is going to change under the leadership of prime minister Mark Carney. He described Trudeau as a weak prime minister, whose policies were inspired by anti-India agenda. He said that I think the Khalistani influence will no longer be there. The percentage of Khalistani population is very small and most Sikhs love india and Punjab.
Attack on Khalistani movement
He did not call Khalistan supporters Sikhs because according to him these people do not work on the principles of Sikhism. This is an important religious and social view as it makes it clear that the Khalistani movement does not have the support of the Sikh community as is often propagated. He drew special attention to matters like human trafficking, false promises of political asylum, and misuse of youth in the US and Canada. JC said that the youth coming from the Donkey Route are being used by so-called Khalistani leaders like Pannu by making false promises.
PM Modi's visit to Canada
JC welcomed Canada's invitation to prime minister Narendra Modi to the G7 summit and called it a new beginning for India-Canada relations. This is the right decision. india is the fourth largest economy. It was a mistake to ignore it. This statement indicates a new era in diplomatic relations between the two countries. The time has come to leave behind the kind of strained relations that had developed during the Trudeau government.
Participation in G7 Summit
PM Modi will be on an official visit to Canada on June 16-17. This visit will become a platform for rebuilding India-Canada relations. The cooperation of the Sikh diaspora will strengthen this new chapter. JC claimed that a network of illegal activities has spread in America under the Khalistani movement, which is now shutting down. JC believes that under the new American and Canadian leadership, the support these radical elements receive will end. This will also have a positive impact on immigration policy in North America.
