Who is Hardeep Singh Nijjar? Canadian Sikh leader allegedly killed by India agents

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau informed Parliament that there were “credible allegations” of a link between “agents of India” and the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh leader whom Trudeau described as a Canadian citizen.

Nijjar, who moved to Canada in February 1997 to be a plumber, was a key figure in the movement for an independent Khalistan — a separate homeland for Sikhs in the Indian subcontinent.

But for the Indian government, he was wanted for allegedly being a “mastermind/active member” of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), which the Indian government designates as a terrorist group.

Travis Prasad takes a closer look at Nijjar, this killing, and the centre of this diplomatic storm.

So even Canadian doesn't know how he became a citizen of Canada 😅

[sarants]

If you call him a Sikh activist....then you should also call Bin Laden "a Muslim activist"....Saddam Hussein an "Iraqi activist"....

[DCFunBud]

I am confused. Just what was Nijjar's immigration status in Canada? Trudeau said he was a citizen. This report makes Nijjar seem to be a rejected asylum seeker with an unclear status.

[NormanCays]

He “identified” as Canadian? Is that all it takes to get citizenship?

[ango]

Over 300 people died in Kanishka plane Bombings. And Canada took 20 years to investigate and in the end all were acquitted. Thats the level of support and commitment for the terrorists by the Canadian authorities❗

Question: Who is Hardeep Singh Nijjar?
Answer: He is a Khalistani (not Sikh) terrorist.

[dhanyan]

He was a Khalistan extremist.Canada failed to take action against the growing Khalistan extremism in Canada.

[ValkyriZ]

So he is NOT a Canadian citizen ? !! Am I missing something here ? How was he able to live in Canada for so long even after he lost all cases ?

[vkchaitanya]

so when did he become canadian? that isn't clear

[firstsparkle]

This video is an insult to Mr. Nijjar.... His resume also contains "a red corner notice' by interpole....

[jesusite]

He is an "terrorist ", have some balls to call out the truth

[RoRZoro]

Make Khalisthan in Canada. Canadians have no right to ask for the division of India based on religion.

[_raj_preet_choudhary]

From being Canadian's problem to becoming international headache.
Justbin Trudeau came a long way.

[RJ-mgel]

He was a wanted terrorist by India and Interpol belonging to terror outfits operating from Canadian soil called sikh for justice/khalistani tiger force. He was involved in killing of thousands of hindus in Punjab state of India and then ran to Canada to evade prosecution in India. This sums up every khalistani living in Canada.

Hardeep singh Nijjar- Sikh Activist
Osama Bin Laden - Islamist Activist
Justin Trudeau - know foreign policy

[unknowns]

currently india given 5 days to leave a senior Canadian diplomant to leave india....
1 days for packing
4 days for plane breakdown...

[heidiadlgostar]

So was he a terrorist group member in India? He was denied 3 times for a reason.

[Bhavesh]

Please stop saying targeting Sikhs, targeting Khalistani terrorists is the right way to say.. Sikh community is very much respected in India and abroad. These Khalistanis are destroying their image.

[amruthasindhu]

It goes on to say how inefficient Canadian police are! Can't they figure out who actually killed instead of blaming an entire country! What a shame

[stevecherry]

Denied entry 4 different occasions and goes and lives in Surrey for 13 years anyways. Maybe it’s karma
