INDIAN DIASPORA URGES FOR 'AMICABLE CONFLICT RESOLUTION'

The Indian community in Canada and around the world is concerned about strained relations between the two countries following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations of Indian government involvement in the fatal shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Khalistan Tiger Force chief, in Canada. This tension has made travel between India and Canada difficult for ordinary people, affecting their daily lives and jobs. Canadian citizens of Indian origin and NRIs of non-Sikh faith, express deep concerns and call for dialogue to resolve the issue. They emphasise the importance of maintaining control over language and emotions while making demands. They also hope for improved relations between India and Canada for the sake of Indian students studying in Canada and emphasise that innocent people should not be punished due to India’s posed visa restrictions on Canada.
