Former Parliamentary Secretary for Human Rights Mahinder Pal Singh has called upon the international community to take a firm position like Prime Minister of Canada on Indian state sponsored terrorism.
He said India has always been involved in murdering Sikhs across the world. He added the whole Sikh community strongly condemns the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
The Sikh leader said Indians are involved in fanning terrorism in Pakistan by using Afghan soil.
Mahinder Pal Singh said the Pakistani nation seeks justice for the killing of Sikh leader in Canada. He also asked the Canadian government to punish the criminals.
Former MPA Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora also strongly denounced the killing of Hardeep Singh, highlighting the tragic loss faced by the Sikh across the world.
Meanwhile, the members of the Sikh community also held a protest demonstration in Peshawar against the killing of Nijjar by Indian agency RAW in Canada. The protestors asked the killers of Hardeep Singh should be arrested soon.
The Sikh community asked extremist Modi government to stop the massacre of Muslims and Sikhs.
Nijjar was gunned down outside the Sikh temple on June 18, which led to speculation regarding Indian government involvement, given his support for the Khalistan movement.`
