Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of concerned Pakistani-Canadian community members, including Dr. Babra Rana, Mr. Saif Pannu and Mr. Muhammad Akmal Gundhra, to address the alleged recent killings of unarmed protesters in Islamabad who were supporting Imran Khan.
A symbol of justice and democracy, Imran Khan inspires millions who are striving for transparent governance. Despite political persecution, his leadership has fuelled a movement for unity, accountability and electoral fairness. His supporters continue to advocate for human rights and democracy.
Canada must stand in solidarity with the people of Pakistan, who continue to stand up for their rights and freedoms. Ongoing human rights violations cannot be ignored. We must act now to demand justice and accountability, and to prevent the further loss of innocent lives.
