Khalistani outfit SFJ declares ‘siege’ on Indian consulate in Canada

The US-based Khalistani outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) on Wednesday threatened a ‘siege’ on the Indian consulate in Canada’s Vancouver on Thursday (September 18) between 8 am and 8 pm. The group urged Indian-Canadians to defer their visit to the consulate on Thursday for their own safety.

“Two years ago — 18 September 2023 — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Parliament that Indian agents’ role was under investigation in the assassination of Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar,” read a statement released by SFJ.

It added, “Two years on, Indian Consulates continue to run spy networks and surveillance targeting Khalistan Referendum campaigners. The threat is so grave that the RCMP has offered “Witness Protection” to Inderjeet Singh Gosal, who assumed leadership of the Khalistan Referendum campaign after Shaheed Nijjar’s martyrdom.”

The notice also mentioned a public message for Indo-Canadians that read, “Indo-Canadians planning routine visits to the Vancouver Indian Consulate on 18 September are advised to refrain and choose another date. Pro-Khalistan Sikhs — torchbearers of Shaheed Nijjar — will lay a historic “SIEGE” of the Consulate to demand accountability for Indian state-directed espionage and intimidation on Canadian soil.”
