WSO Legal Counsel, Balpreet Singh, spoke with multiple media outlets about the recent assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The World Sikh Organization of Canada (WSO) calls on Canadian intelligence and law enforcement to fully investigate the assassination, including the role of foreign interference, specifically from India.

Sikh groups are among various protesters demonstrating against the USA's welcoming of India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The protests are particularly pertinent after a recent uptake in targeting of Sikhs by the Indian State.

Never forget all the Sikh children the Indian government orphaned. Never forget all the Sikh children the Indian government killed. Never forget all the Sikh children and youth the Indian government disappeared & tortured! Never forget your history! #Sikhs#SikhGenocide
Prime Minister Modi's government has cracked down on the press and civil society, jailed political opponents, and pushed an aggressive Hindu nationalism that leaves little space for India's religious minorities. President Biden should raise these facts in his meeting with Modi.
PRESS RELEASE: NIJJAR ASSASSINATION FAILURE OF CANADIAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
🔗 https://t.co/qcNNyBIDXA
“The assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar is gravely alarming for Sikhs in Canada. Nijjar openly and repeatedly stated that he would be targeted by Indian intelligence and this was made known to CSIS and law enforcement. CSIS has known that Nijjar faced an imminent threat to his life for months. The fact that he was assassinated in this manner is a failure of these bodies to provide protection to someone they knew would be targeted.
The role of foreign interference from India must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible for this crime must be brought to justice.
Thousands of Sikhs have fled India due to human rights abuses and oppression. India has a long track record of extra-judicially murdering individuals it accuses of being ‘anti-national’, but seeing this happen in Canada is deeply concerning for our community and should be a wake-up call for all Canadians, our government, and security-intelligence bodies.
While this killing may have had the intention of striking fear into the hearts of Sikhs, it will have the opposite effect. Sikhs will continue to fearlessly advocate for Khalistan and against Indian human rights abuses, as they have the right to do.”
- Tejinder Singh Sidhu, WSO President
