The president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, B.C., was shot dead Sunday night in the temple’s parking lot, according to members of the province’s Sikh community.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s death was confirmed by the temple’s vice-president and Sikh community groups, and he is being mourned widely on social media.
… The vice-president of the gurdwara, Amandeep Singh Johal, told CBC News that Nijjar, 45, was an activist with the Sikh independence group Sikhs for Justice.
In 2016, CBC News reported that the government of India was seeking Nijjar’s extradition from Canada on charges related to extremism.
India behind this? I would not be surprised given Junior’s select tolerance for extremism.
