Denied even “minimum security protection” by Canadian security agencies, the Indian High Commission in Canada has decided to cancel some of the planned consular camps. This comes after attacks by Khaistani mobs in two consular camps in Brampton and Surrey on November 2 and 3.

“In view of the inability of security agencies to provide minimal protection to the organizers of the community camps, the consulate has decided to cancel some of the planned consular camps,” the Indian General Advisor in Toronto said in a post on X.

A Khalistani mob entered the premises of the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton and attacked devotees there. The temple organized the consular camp and the Peel police of the Ontario province failed to protect and act against the Khalistani attackers.

Sikhs for Justice, a banned pro-Khalistani group, said its supporters protesting against the presence of Indian consular officials who had come to help in administrative services.

The Indian High Commission provided essential services to Indians in Canada who were targets of anti-Indian forces.

The camps help, among other things, to provide life insurance certificates to Canadian Indians.

At one such consular camp organized in Vancouver on November 3 at the Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey, 750 life certificates were issued to members of the Indian diaspora and retirees.

The refusal to provide “minimum security” by Canadian security agencies comes at a time when Khalistan elements have become hyperactive and have made open threats against people of Indian origin and India-linked organizations. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party have also been criticized for not having condemned the attack by the “Khalistanis”, accused of having harbored and appeased the secessionists.

There is also evidence that Khalistani elements have infiltrated Canadian police services.

Canada was forced to suspend a cop, Harinder Sohiafter videos of him participating in a pro-Khalistan protest outside the attacked temple in Brampton went viral.

Sohi, a Peel Regional Police sergeant, was filmed holding a Khalistan flag, while other protesters chanted anti-India slogans.

The Consulate General of India in Toronto on September 27 announced the organization of 14 life certificate camps for retirement purposes. These camps were to be held between November 2 and 23 in various Canadian cities, including Winnipeg, Brampton, Halifax and Oakville, according to a press release.
