New revelations have surfaced regarding the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent figure in the Khalistan movement, in a recent Al Jazeera documentary.
The documentary sheds light on the plight of Indian minorities, particularly Muslims and Sikhs, who feel excluded under Modi's government. Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a strong advocate for Sikh rights, was tragically gunned down in Vancouver on June 18, 2023.
Al Jazeera's investigative report unveils disturbing details surrounding his assassination, suggesting the involvement of Indian agencies. Despite facing persistent threats from Indian authorities, Nijjar remained resolute in his pursuit of justice and autonomy for the Sikh community.
The documentary vividly captures the chilling moment when two assailants ambushed Nijjar, underscoring the vulnerability of minorities even on foreign soil.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later confirmed suspicions of Indian government involvement, echoing the sentiments of thousands who rallied in Vancouver demanding accountability.
Jagmeet Singh, Nijjar's son and a Canadian Member of Parliament, echoed the calls for justice, vowing to continue his father's legacy. He, alongside other activists, condemned the Modi government's attempts to suppress dissent, both domestically and internationally.
The Al Jazeera report exposes a pattern of intimidation and violence orchestrated by Indian authorities against minority groups, with Nijjar's murder serving as a grim example.
Despite assurances from global leaders, including US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, justice remains elusive.
In a troubling revelation, it was disclosed that Indian intelligence had labeled Nijjar a terrorist prior to his assassination, indicative of a broader campaign to silence dissenting voices.
The involvement of Indian agencies in extrajudicial killings and harassment of pro-Khalistan Sikhs on foreign soil has drawn condemnation from international observers.
