One of India’s most wanted terrorists has been arrested and charged in connection with a recent alleged shooting in Ontario.
Arshdeep Singh Gill is known on the streets of India by the alias “Arsh Dalla”, a name that in recent years has become synonymous with violence in India.
In what has now become a common theme in the streets of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s post-national Canada, chaos and extremist violence marred an otherwise joyous occasion for the Canadian-Indian community celebrating Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas — festivals that symbolize the spiritual victory of good over evil and fighting injustice and oppression.
Young men clutching swords, baseball bats and pieces of lumber are standing guard outside a Sikh gurdwara near Toronto’s Pearson Airport, their eyes scanning the perimeter for signs of trouble in the dark.
Prayers broadcasting from inside the temple mix with Punjabi music blaring from a pick-up truck parked nearby. The mood has been tense ever since the sun set.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to go public with foreign interference claims against India lies in stark contrast with the way the United States handled similar allegations and could be at the root of violent clashes seen in recent days between Sikh and Hindu crowds in Brampton, Ont., and Surrey, B.C., say India experts.

In a testy exchange in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of sowing the “divisions” that led to the violent clash between Sikh separatists and Hindu worshippers outside a Hindu temple in Brampton on the weekend.
The question period exchange kicked off with Trudeau calling Poilievre’s silence on the violence in South Asian communities “deafening.”
Poilievre accused Trudeau of using the issue to distract from domestic economic issues.
“A silent majority of the Sikhs do not want to have anything to do with Khalistan. They just don’t speak out because they’re afraid of violence and violent repercussions,” reports Ujjal Dosanjh, as a Sikh living in Vancouver, B.C.
The call for a separate Sikh homeland in Punjab, India — to be called Khalistan — has been brewing since the 1930s, when British rule in India was nearing its end. Although the movement now has marginal support in India, it has taken wings in Canada and escalated into the present derailing of relations between two friendly Commonwealth democracies, India and Canada.
This mess is on Trudeau.
He provided a safe haven for Khalistan militants in exchange for Sikh votes never thinking there might be repercussions.
Not that he cares.
On a warm July night two years ago, Moninder Singh received a chilling message from special federal agents who showed up at his house in British Columbia: You are being formally warned that there is an imminent threat to your life. Avoid public spaces. Enhance security at home.
The first person he called — a friend and fellow activist in a campaign promoting an independent Sikh homeland carved out of India — had just gotten the same ominous warning.
A year later, that friend, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was dead.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser and the deputy minister of foreign affairs provided sensitive intelligence about India to The Washington Post days before the RCMP publicly alleged that Indian government agents have been linked to homicides, extortions and other violent criminal activities in Canada, two sources say.
The leak to the U.S. publication about the killing of a Winnipeg Sikh leader and the role of India’s Home Secretary in violent acts in Canada stands in contrast to Mr. Trudeau’s view of leaks of classified information on China’s interference activities. Last week, he told the public inquiry into foreign interference that “a criminal leaked classified information” about China’s meddling in 2023 to The Globe and Mail.
So Justin and his girlfriend leaked intelligence data to stamp out the anti-Trudeau mutiny.
TORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s bombshell allegation in Parliament last year that agents of the Indian government were linked to the assassination of a Sikh separatist leader on Canadian soil sent relations between Ottawa and New Delhi plummeting.
Since then, each country has expelled the other’s diplomats, and police here have alleged Indian government involvement in a wide range of violent acts targeting Sikhs in Canada. Trudeau this week said India had made a “horrific mistake” in thinking it could violate Canada’s sovereignty.
The claims have deepened concerns among Western officials that India, a country they’ve sought to court as a counter to China, is practicing “transnational repression” — a tactic more commonly employed by authoritarian regimes such as in Russia and Iran — to target its critics abroad.
A plague on all their houses. This is a Justin Trudeau problem brought about by his reliance on identity politics.
Hindu nationalists have succeeded where the English have failed
It seemed like a perfectly sensible policy at the time, but with the coherence of hindsight, it can now be seen as the first in a concatenation of cock-ups. The year was 1772. The East India Company was in charge of Bengal, its tiny bridgehead in eastern India from where it went on to acquire a tidy chunk of the subcontinent over the course of the following century. Its boss there was a chap called Warren Hastings, who was keen to repair the reputation of Company men. No one was particularly fond of these money-grubbing jumped-up parvenus, and especially not in the home counties. And Hastings happened to be a man with some intellectual pretensions.
Left unchecked, the Khalistani extremists Trudeau’s government shelters can be as lethal as Al Qaeda
India is withdrawing its High Commissioner from Canada after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau again accused India of masterminding the June 18, 2023, killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia. To back his accusation that India’s intelligence service conducted the hit, Trudeau said that US intelligence affirmed his conclusion. This was false. While American intelligence supplied Canada with raw data after Nijjar’s murder, Trudeau mischaracterised it.
This is all about Justin Trudeau’s ego.
He needed to deflect from the mutiny he’s facing and used the long compromised RCMP to help create a crisis for him.
So now thanks to Trudeau’s identity politics we have Sikh and Indian extremists walking amongst us not to mention his beloved Muslims.
Canada is a terrorist haven thanks to Trudeau but let’s not sell his Pal Jaggy short!

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh calls for emergency study into allegations of Indian government links to crimes in Canada
Federal New Democrats called for an emergency House of Commons study into RCMP allegations that agents of the Indian government are linked to homicides, extortions, and other violent crimes in Canada.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on Tuesday made the request amid several other actions he said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should take. The other demands included levelling sanctions on the six Indian diplomats who were expelled by Canada on Monday and banning the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh network, which Mr. Singh described as a “right-wing, extremist, militant group.” The Hindu nationalist network is based in India.
What a farce.
Fourteen bullets fired at a home near Victoria. An Edmonton building torched by arsonists with a red jerrycan. A 39-year-old found dead in a Winnipeg duplex.
The crimes are among several across Canada that were allegedly part of an Indian government campaign against activists and opponents of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Six diplomatic and consular officials posted at India’s foreign missions in Ottawa and its consulates in Toronto and Vancouver have been identified as persons of interest in the scheme.
I hope both sides lose. That said Trudeau and his love of identity politics are squarely to blame for this mess.
CSIS planned a major intervention in 2017 to shut down rapidly growing Indian intelligence networks in Vancouver that were monitoring and targeting the Sikh community, according to a confidential Canadian foreign interference review.
But Ottawa blocked CSIS’s operation due to “political sensitivity” and fears it would impact Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s upcoming trip to India, the top secret June 2019 report says. And so, the Indian diplomat in Vancouver targeted by CSIS continued to run his networks “unabated.”
New Delhi has vehemently rejected Ottawa’s claims Indian diplomats were linked to homicides, extortion and other violent criminal activity in Canada, describing them as “preposterous imputations” driven by the political agenda of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
In a flurry of statements late Monday, India accused Mr. Trudeau of “smearing India for political gains” and ordered six Canadian diplomats, including acting High Commissioner Stewart Wheeler, to leave the country. This tit-for-tat response followed Canada’s own expulsion of Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma and five of his colleagues, who have been linked to the June 2023 killing of Surrey, B.C.-based Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
A plague on both their houses. Justin has crapped all over Canada by turning it into Little Khalistan and is looking for a distraction from his domestic dumpster fire.
Modi’s Hindu nationalists persecute Christians as viciously as Muslims do. Let them both lose.
