The home of a Canadian Sikh activist was hit by gunfire on Monday, months after the assassination of Khalistan supporter Hardeep Singh Nijjar sent India-Canada relations into a spiral.
The home of a Canadian Sikh activist in Brampton, Ontario, was hit by gunfire on Monday, months after the assassination of another activist sent India-Canada relations into a spiral. A bullet hole was discovered in the window of Inderjit Singh Gosal’s home on Monday by construction workers, according to local police and the US-based group Sikhs for Justice, a group Gosal had been working with that advocates for a separate Sikh homeland. “It appears that only one bullet hole was found but that is subject to change,” Peel Regional Police wrote in a statement. The police said an investigation was underway, adding that while it was “unknown at this time if there is any relation to the group Sikhs for Justice, investigators will consider all possibilities.” Sikhs for Justice believes Gosal may have been targeted for his role in campaigning for the creation of a separate Sikh homeland out of India, which would be known as Khalistan and include parts of India’s Punjab state. The group, which supports the creation of Khalistan, said in a statement that the bullet hole was found “days after Gosal announced the Khalistan Freedom Rally at the Indian Consulate Toronto on February 17.”
