The World Sikh Organization of Canada has called for “immediate protection” for Canadian Sikhs who “face a threat from India and its agents” after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed there is “credible” intelligence linking Indian government agents to the June 18 fatal shooting of Surrey Sikh temple president Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45.
The Guru Nanak Gurdwara president, an ardent supporter of securing an independent Sikh nation in India called Khalistan, was killed in the parking lot of the temple, located in the 7000-block of Scott Road.
