Fortunately, no officers in the building suffered any kind of injuries and the fire was put off soon by the firefighters.

The consulate was on the target of the Khalistani group from past few months. Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) later claimed responsibility and released a video showing the consulate being set on fire. The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs first classified the SFJ as a designated terror organisation in July 2019 due to its disruptive and extremist actions in Punjab.

World is facing Khalistani aggression

The incidents of Khalistani aggression are on a steep rise these days. This is because of Killing of Khalistani terrorist, Nijjar Singh in Canada. The pro-Khalistani leader was on the wanted list of India. Supporters of Khalistan recently circulated the name of Indian diplomats in Canada while accusing them of the killing of Nijjar Singh. They quoted the officials as “Killers In Toronto”. After a little while, the Foreign Affairs Minister – Dr. S. Jaishankar reacted to this and warned the western nation that this might ruin their relations with India.
