If you want to see what decades of political pandering to a special interest group looks like, and how it corrodes a country, read on.
A week after October 7, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a key Khalistan figure, released a video praising Hamas and urging Sikhs to emulate October 7 tactics, including violence against Hindus worldwide. He has also urged boycotts of Air India tied to his own threats. CSIS and RCMP were investigating these threats in 2023.
The Khalistan movement carried out the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history, the Air India bombing, killing more than 300 people, most of them Canadians.
Yet CTV News @ToddCTV chose to platform Pannun, without mentioning any of this, and even treated him as an “expert” on Canada–India trade, something countless qualified Canadian economists or even those who don't especially like India, could speak to.
Only in Canada do we see someone who has endorsed violent rhetoric treated as a legitimate commentator. It’s glaring and disturbing. Is there a simple explanation for this? That @ToddCTV failed to do his homework so it's sheer incompetence or something more nefarious going on? Perplexing.
The point is you don’t need to like India, Hindus, or care about the Khalistan issue. But surely we can agree that a credible news organization shouldn’t platform someone who openly advocates violence against any group.

If someone can hear what Lord Shri Ram is telling today, It might be - "In this medical emergency, I will be much more happier if you can postpone RamMandir construction and use the donations received to tackle Covid-19"
