Last week, Khalistani supporter Inderjit Singh Gosal (36 years) was arrested in Ontario, Canada. He was facing serious allegations like keeping weapons and involvement in terrorist activities. However, surprisingly, the court granted him bail within just a week. His arrest for the Indian community was news of relief, but immediate release on bail has raised serious questions on the policies of the Canadian government.
Gosal is considered an active member of the ‘Sikh for Justice’ (SFJ) terrorist organization. After the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar (June 2023), he became the main organizer of SFJ in Canada. Meanwhile, Gosal started anti -India rhetoric as soon as he came out of jail. He openly threatened that he would convert Delhi into Khalistan. Along with this, a new threatening video of Gurpatwant Singh Pannu declared SFJ chief and global terrorist has also surfaced. Pannu gave a serious warning to India’s National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval in this video.
Questions arising on the Canadian government
Gosal’s arrest and release has raised questions as to why Canada does not take strict action against Khalistani supporters. Khalistani openly conduct anti -India rallies and campaigning. Despite the arrests, they get bail quickly. Instead of stopping anti -India rhetoric, they get protection in the name of free speech. This situation makes India-Canada relations more stressful. India has already demanded strict action against SFJ and its leaders from Canada.
Role of SFJ and Gurpatwant Singh Pannu
Sikh for Justice (SFJ) is a banned terrorist organization. Its leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu has been declared a global terrorist by the Government of India. Pannu constantly makes anti -India statements and spreads threats through social media and video messages. Inderjit Singh Gosal is considered close to Pannu and has recently joined the main organizers of SFJ’s Canada.
