Mr. Speaker, I am a proud Sikh by birth. Like Sikhs in Canada, I am not a Khalistani extremist or a sympathizer. However, there are a few Sikhs in Canada as well as in the House.
On December 13, 2018, the minister of public safety removed religion Sikh words from the “Terrorist Threat to Canada” report, 2018, and the Sikh community was grateful. However, a few unsatisfied Sikh members of parliament stood against their own government, used all the tools and ulterior motives and pressurized the government and got Khalistani extremism removed from the report. Their hidden agenda was to camouflage all the names long-time linked to the movement, even their own near and dear ones.
The security of Canada is paramount, but they compromised it. Shame on them for pandering to extremism in Canada. History will not forgive them.
