TORONTO: Canadian Sikhs expressed their outrage and sorrow over the assassination of prominent Khalistan movement leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, by staging demonstrations outside various Indian diplomatic missions across the country. Here’s a breakdown of the events:
Approximately 100 protesters congregated outside the Indian consulate in Toronto, where emotions ran high. In a symbolic act of protest, an Indian flag was set on fire, and a cardboard cut-out bearing the likeness of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was repeatedly struck with a shoe, a gesture of strong condemnation.
