Canada Ignores India's Extradition Requests For Terrorists

Nine separatist organizations supporting terror groups have established bases in Canada. Despite multiple deportation requests by India, Canadian authorities have not taken action against individuals involved in heinous crimes, including the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. These organizations, such as the World Sikh Organization (WSO), Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), are alleged to operate with ties to Pakistan.

Indian authorities have raised the issue of deportations of wanted terrorists and gangsters during diplomatic and security talks, but Canada has not acted on these requests. Multiple dossiers have been provided, but no action has been taken.

The individuals in question, including Gurwant Singh and Gurpreet Singh, have pending deportation requests. Additionally, gangsters like Arsh Dalla and Satinderjit Singh Brar, implicated in criminal cases, have not faced deportation.

These separatist organizations have openly issued assassination threats, promoted separatism, and conducted targeted killings in India. The high-profile assassination of Sidhu Moose Wala by a Canada-based gangster affiliated with pro-Khalistan elements serves as an example.

Other Canada-based wanted terrorists include Gurwant Singh Bath, Bhagat Singh Brar (son of Pakistan-based terrorist Lakhbeer Singh Rhode), Moninder Singh Bual, and Satinder Pal Singh Gill.

Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen affiliated with Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), was designated as a terrorist by the Indian Union Home Ministry. He was accused of organizing training camps for Sikh extremist groups with support from Pakistan’s ISI in Canada.

The article suggests that Canada’s diplomatic standoff with India may be driven by domestic political factors and aims to gain support from Sikh populations with pro-Khalistan sentiments. It also highlights the role of Jagmeet Singh Dhaliwal, an MP from Burnaby South, who belongs to the New Democratic Party of Canada and supports the Khalistan referendum.

Canadian authorities have not established a direct link between Indian authorities and Nijjar’s murder. The article also mentions another murder, that of Canadian citizen Ripudaman Malik, attributing it to internal rivalry among various groups.
