Ottawa: Canadian Member of Parliament has reacted to Khalistani supporters putting up posters of Indira Gandhi’s assassination. Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic Leblanc emphasized that promoting violence is never acceptable in the country. He took to X to slam the supporters who celebrated the assassination of former Prime Minister of India Indra Gandhi.
In a post on X, Leblanc wrote, “This week, there were reports of imagery depicting the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Vancouver. The promotion of violence is never acceptable in Canada.”
On Saturday, Indian-origin Canadian member of Parliament Chandra Arya also expressed similar concern over Khalistani supporters in Canada putting up posters of Indira Gandhi’s assassination. While sharing a picture that depicted cutout of Indra Gandhi with bullet holes, he said that such attempts are to instil fear among the Hindu-canadians living in the country.
In a post on X, he said, “Khalistan supporters in Vancouver with posters, of Hindu Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi body with bullet holes with her bodyguards turned assassins holding their guns, are again attempting to instil fear of violence in Hindu-Canadians.”
Recalling the threats given by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun to Hindu-canadians, he said, “This is continuation of threats with a similar float in Brampton couple of years back and few months back Pannu of Sikhs for Justice asking Hindus to go back to India. I again call on law enforcement agencies in Canada to take immediate action. With picture of guns readily being used to convey the message may lead to something real if this is left to continue unchallenged. The prominence of bindi on the forehead of Indira Gandhi is to make doubly sure the intended targets are Hindus in Canada.”
