"Canada must act against Sikh extremists while ensuring that the Sikh community as a whole is not subjected to collective punishment."
Khalistani Extremists News: A report suggesting that Canada should stop allowing extremist Khalistani elements to use the country as a base to advance their agenda and foment tensions with India came to light on Saturday, according to Morung Express.
The report added that other countries would not tolerate such extremist diaspora groups operating from their soil and that Ottawa should therefore take steps to prevent this. It further noted that a referendum conducted by the terror group Sikhs for Justice in November 2025 in Ottawa took place at a time when Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Johannesburg. The talks were focused on trade relations, and the referendum potentially undermined Canada’s foreign policy interests.
According to Morung Express, the report stated that Canada must stop future referendums.
“A referendum campaign organised by Sikhs for Justice, a pro-Khalistani group, has been taking place with little notice from most Canadians. Recently, over 53,000 Canadian Sikhs from Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec voted in Ottawa during the latest phase of the Khalistan Referendum, forming lines stretching nearly two kilometres,” the report stated.
The report noted that Canada has one of the largest Sikh diasporas outside India, with a vibrant and diverse community.
“Canadian Sikhs actively contribute to all aspects of Canadian society, including politics, business, arts, and community life. A small but vocal segment openly supports the Khalistani cause, advocating for an independent Sikh state. This has led to tensions with India, which views such activities as a threat to its sovereignty and often criticises Canada for not curbing extremism,” it added.
The report further stated that Canada must act against Sikh extremists while ensuring that the Sikh community as a whole is not subjected to collective punishment.
“Sikhs face enough prejudice and discrimination due to their distinctive religious attire - they wear turbans and some carry ceremonial daggers - to face accusations of ‘dual loyalty.’ Jewish Canadians faced this stereotype, and no group should carry that stigma. Instead, Sikh groups should work with Canadian agencies to isolate extremists,” the report is quoted as detailed in the Morung Express.
The report added that Canada should stop any groups from organising activities that undermine national security and foreign policy.
“This approach should apply not only to Sikh extremists but to any group that seeks to use Canada as a platform for promoting foreign conflicts or undermining Canadian interests,” it stressed.
