Reacting to the recent edition of the Outlook India that featured a photo of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with the headline ‘Khalistan-II: Made in Canada’, the Canadian Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan and a fellow Minister Amarjit Sohi—called the magazine’s heading ‘ridiculous’ and ‘offensive’ for accusing Canada for its involvement in the rise of Sikh terrorism, reports The National Post on February 7. The published article depicts several alleged connections between the Canada and Khalistan movement along with accusing Sikh-Canadians exploiting Canada’s political system. “I have been a Police Officer and served my country [Canada] and such allegations are absolutely ridiculous and extremely offensive, said Harjit Sajjan.

Punjab on February 15 started taking over all the moveable and immovable assets of the Jamaat ud Dawa (JuD) and the Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF) operating in the province, reports Dawn.

A Statutory Notification (SRO) issued by the interior ministry on February 10 directs that “requisite action with regard to freezing and taking over of assets (moveable, immoveable and human resource) associated with JuD and FIF shall be taken in pursuance of ordinance No-II of 2018”.

The slain Sikh militant and important leader of Khalistan movement—Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale’s home at his ancestral village in Baghapurana sub-Division of Moga District in Punjab has been converted into a ‘Gurdwara’ (Sikh temple) and opened for general public on February 16, reports The Indian Express. The Gurdwara is dedicated to his [Bhindranwale] martyrdom and named as ‘Gurdwara Sant Khalsa’. His home condition was in shambles therefore it was decided to convert into a ‘place of worship’. The Gurdwara was built by the Damdami Taksal with no financial assistance from the previous Punjab Government led by the coalition of Shiromani Akali Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party (SAD-BJP), said Head of Damdami Taksal Harnam Singh Dhuma. No one in village opposed the construction of the Gurdwara and it was highly supported by the youths as they remember him [Bhindranwale] fondly, said a village resident Jaswinder Singh Brar.

The Canadian Prime Minister (PM) Justin Trudeau on February 21 that his country [Canada] did not support any Sikh separatist movement in India or elsewhere, reports The Tribune. During his 40-minutes meeting with the Chief Minister (CM) of Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh, Trudeau assured the CM Amarinder Singh that Canada does not believe in Sikh separatism, even though the latter handed-over the list of nine Canada-resident operatives alleged for promoting radicalism. Capt. Amarinder Singh urged Canadian PM’s cooperation in dealing with separatism and hate crimes caused by a tiny proportion of Canada’s population. The Punjab CM also handed over to Trudeau a list of nine Canada-based operatives of Category “A”— allegedly involved in hate crimes in Punjab by financing and supplying weapons for terrorist activities, and also engaged in radicalising youth here. In 2017, Punjab’s CM accused Canada’s Defence Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan for being a ‘Khalistan sympathiser’ and refused to meet him during his visit to India. “Really happy to received categorical assurance from Canadian PM that his country does not support any separatist movement. His words are a big relief to all of us,” said Punjab CM (Capt.) Amarinder Singh.

A Special team of Hong Kong Police on February 22, arrested Punjab-based gangster Ramanjit Singh alias Romi in a robbery case in Hong Kong, reports The Tribune. Ramanjit Singh, who faced several criminal charges in India, was involved in plotting the Nabha jail break in 2016. In 2016, over Patiala Police’s request— the Interpol had issued a ‘Red Corner Notice’ (RCN), but Ramanjit Singh disappeared. In 2016, he was arrested but released on bail. He jumped the bail and fled to Hong Kong. Being in Hong Kong, Ramanjit kept in contact with Gurpreet Singh Sekhon—a key plotter and one of the prisoner to escape the Nabha jail in November 2016. Ramanjit Singh would be investigated for his suspected involvement in the killings of RSS leaders in the state of Punjab and his connection with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) where he acted as a middle-man between the terrorist outfits and gangsters based in Punjab.

Attending the inauguration of a Gurdwara build in the memory of slain Sikh militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale in his village on February 22, the representatives of major Sikh organisations described Bhindranwale as a ‘Martyr’ of 1984’s Operation Blue Star, reports The Times of India. The Gurdwara is located in Bhindranwale’s native village of Rode in Moga District of Punjab. The inauguration ceremony was attended by the heads of Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Managing Committee (DSGMC), the Damdami Taksal and the Jathedars (leaders of Akal Takht) of five Takhts(seat of authority). The event was dominated by the discussions over the storming of the Sikh Holy Shrine—the Sri Harmandir Sahib or mostly known as the Golden Temple, and killing of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale in Amritsar, Amritsar District of Punjab in June 1984. The representative accused the Indian Government led by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for the incidents.

The Sikh radical groups based out of India had put forward their demands which includes a ‘Vatican-like’ status for Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in Amritsar, Punjab and Akal Takht (a Sikh authoritarian institution), and an apology from Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi at a global forum for the 1984 Military-led Operation Blue Star, reports Hindustan Times on February 27. The contact related to the matter was established by the United Kingdom (UK) based Sikh groups via Jasdev Singh Rai, Director of the Sikh Human Rights Forum, before the visit of PM Modi to London in November 2015, which results to the initiation of formal talks on the matter between PM Modi and 30 Sikh members during their meeting. The interests of talks were highlighted in previous Indian Government too, but with Modi-led Government, the talk process picked up speed, said an unnamed person related to the developments. The Government had pointed out that former PM Manmohan Singh had apologised in Parliament in 2011 for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots — which followed the assassination of then-PM Indira Gandhi, itself a consequence of Operation Blue Star — but the Sikh groups responded by saying that this apology had been meant only for “Indian Sikhs”.

Former Khalistani militant - Jaspal Atwal, a Canadian Sikh had an e-visa to India, reportsHindustan Times on February 28. Jaspal Atwal raised the controversy by attending an event in Mumbai during the visit of Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to India concluded on February 24. As Atwal’s name had been removed from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs’ (UMHA) list of prohibited Sikh militants in 2016, there was no clause that would hindered him to obtain an e-visa to India. Like other Canadian citizens, Atwal has a privilege to acquire an e-visa, but it shall not meant that Indian Government had any role in him being in India or extending an invitation to him to the event hosted to honour the Canadian PM Trudeau. The Canadian High Commission (CHC) managed the guest-list and Government of India has no interference in this, said an unnamed Indian official who is involved in the developments in the matter. Atwal had served five years of a 20-year imprisonment after being convicted of an attempt to assassinate an Indian politician Malkiat Singh Sidhu in Vancouver Island during his visit to Canada in 1986.
