Hello,

I am writing to you to express my grave concern regarding Canada’s response to the news that Indian agents were involved in the political assassination of Bhai Hardeep Singh Nijjar. While the official acknowledgement of India’s responsibility in Parliament and the subsequent expulsion of an Indian diplomat are important first steps, Canada’s comprehensive response must reflect the gravity of India’s role in the premeditated murder of a Sikh dissident living in Canada.

Canadians from across the country are calling on the Government of Canada to take immediate steps to demonstrate concrete commitments to ensuring the safety and security of Sikhs in Canada. This includes guaranteeing their ability to exercise their Charter rights by freely advocating for Sikh sovereignty and the establishment of Khalistan–without fear of violent reprisals by the Indian state.

Based on the numerous public reports available in the media, Canadian security and intelligence agencies were well aware of an active threat to Bhai Hardeep Singh’s life yet failed to stop it. This is a massive failure of Canada’s security agencies to prevent a foreseeable violent crime and gives rise to widespread fear and concern within the community. This incident has had an undeniable chilling effect within the Sikh community and gravely harms the ability of Sikhs and others critical of India to exercise their Charter rights across this country. This is in addition to the violent threats that other Sikh activists continue to face within Canada.

Given the lack of demonstrable action against Indian foreign interference in the past has led to a widespread feeling that this brazen attack is the direct result of the impunity that Indian diplomatic and intelligence operatives have enjoyed in this country for decades. Indian intelligence agencies are actively engaging in conduct to influence government decision-making to criminalize and prosecute Sikh political advocacy in Canada under the guise of “countering extremism” while also intimidating and murdering activists like Hardeep Singh.

Canadians are calling on the Government of Canada to provide a comprehensive response to this grave threat to Canadian sovereignty and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We call on the Government of Canada to immediately suspend all security and intelligence cooperation with India in order to uphold Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms and international human rights obligations. This includes any and all agreements or informal mechanisms involving intelligence sharing, mutual legal assistance, extradition, training exercises, consultation or any other forms of cooperation in the areas of security and intelligence.

We call on the Government of Canada to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure a public inquiry is established to review the circumstances leading to Bhai Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s assassination. This independent inquiry must be able to examine and publicly disclose the full range of threats posed by Indian foreign interference in Canada, as well as the failure of Canadian security and intelligence agencies in stopping the murder despite prior knowledge of an active threat.

We call on the Government of Canada to immediately expel India’s High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma, and conduct a thorough and continuous review of all Indian diplomats and consular officials in Canada, as well as any Indian nationals with links to Indian security or intelligence agencies. Those found to have been involved in interference, surveillance, espionage, or human rights abuses must be prosecuted where possible and immediately expelled from Canada. Such individuals should no longer be permitted to enter this country.

We call on the Government of Canada to establish a foreign agent registry that ensures transparency and includes meaningful enforcement mechanisms.

We call on the Government of Canada to ensure India is held accountable for its violation of Canadian sovereignty and the UN Charter. This includes appropriate sanctions in response to Hardeep Singh Nijjar's extrajudicial killing.
Thank you.
