'Asked Wednesday during a pre-trip briefing with reporters if agents of the Indian government are currently involved in extortion or threats of violence in Canada, a federal official said Ottawa has a very robust diplomatic engagement with India.

'The World Sikh Organization of Canada
called the official’s comments “utterly false” and said it “does not align with what Sikh Canadians are experiencing on the ground and what we are seeing firsthand.”

“The WSO is aware of incidents in the past six months of individuals being surveilled, harassed and intimidated by agents of the government of India.

The Carney government has failed to hold India accountable or to create any meaningful safeguards to ensure that Sikh Canadians are protected from foreign interference and transnational repression. Declaring the problem resolved does not make it so.”'

'B.C. Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal, who represents the riding where Nijjar’s murder took place, said Wednesday he has shared his constituents’ concerns about Carney’s trip with the Prime Minister’s Office.

“Canadian lives matter, and Canadian lives and the rule of law takes priority. That’s what I’m going to say,” Dhaliwal said on his way into the weekly Liberal caucus meeting.

“We have to do trade with other nations, but at the same time our record on human rights, protecting the rule of law, Canadian lives and Canadian sovereignty is our duty.”'
