India urges Canada to list protesters outfit Sikhs for Justice as a terrorist body

|THE DEN|

India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) has formally requested Canada to declare the organization Sikhs for Justice a terrorist entity. NIA interacted with their Canadian law enforcement counterparts this week in Ottawa and gave them information and dossiers to back their case against the front. The request was made earlier this year and the NIA team’s Ottawa visit was meant to substantiate India’s claim that SJF was fuelling violence in India, particularly in Punjab, as part of its separatist agenda which includes spearheading the Punjab Referendum.
