A shot has been fired at the house of a Sikh separatist linked to pro-Khalistan leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who is a designated terrorist in India, in the Canadian province of Ontario. The incident comes just days after the shooting at the Surrey home of Simranjit Singh, a “friend” of banned Khalistan Tiger Force leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a designated terrorist in India who was shot dead outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia last year. Was murdered.
On Monday, a bullet hole was found in the window of an unfinished house of Khalistan supporter Inderjit Singh Gosal in Brampton, according to The Guardian.
However, there is no report of anyone being injured. Peel Regional Police confirmed that a bullet hole was found. Constable Tyler Bell-Morena of Peel Regional Police said it was too early to link the shooting to Gosal’s role in the Khalistan movement.
Gosal had recently announced that pro-Khalistan rallies would be held outside the Indian Consulate in Toronto on February 17.
According to the report, Gosal works closely with Pannun, who is the chief legal advisor of the banned Sikhs for Justice and was the target of a failed assassination attempt in the US.
The firing incidents come at a time when India and Canada have accused each other of interfering in their “internal affairs”.
Months after accusing New Delhi of playing a role in the killing of Nijjar on Canadian soil in June last year, Canada recently described India as a “foreign threat” that could potentially interfere in their elections. .
India denied the allegation of “interference” made by Canadian agencies, calling it “absurd” and “motivated”.
India said that Canada itself has been interfering in India’s internal affairs. India has repeatedly said that Canada harbors separatists, terrorists and anti-India elements on its soil.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “It is not the policy of the Government of India to interfere in the democratic processes of other countries. On the contrary, Canada is interfering in our internal affairs.”
