Trudeau’s Address at Khalsa Day Celebration
Trudeau used the platform at Toronto’s Khalsa Day event to reaffirm Canada’s dedication to protecting the rights and freedoms of its Sikh people. Speaking to a diverse audience, he highlighted the positive aspects of Canada’s diversity by affirming that Sikh principles are, in fact, Canadian principles. Pro-Khalistan chants made a stir, but Trudeau chose not to bring up the ongoing controversy.
Social Media Outcry
Social media users are furious because the event featured pro-Khalistan sentiments. In response, some have demanded that the Indian government remove its ambassadors from Canada.
In the wake of the controversy surrounding the death of pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, this episode has further strained diplomatic ties between the two nations.
Organiser and Significance of Khalsa Day Celebration
The Ontario Sikhs and Gurdwara Council (OSGC) hosts the annual Khalsa Day ceremony to honour Guru Gobind Singh’s founding of the Khalsa order in 1699. This event, which is held at Nathan Philips Square, celebrates the traditional new year celebrated in India.
