Akshay Garg of Brampton and Ashwini Sharma of Etobicoke in Ontario say that here videos of anti-India incidents are regularly handed over to the police, but the police do not find any accused. No action is taken, but within three months of the murder of Khalistani Nijjar, Canada got major clues... how this happened.

Baljeet (name changed), a Sikh youth from Ontario, says that due to the actions of a handful of people, the entire society has to feel ashamed. Canada's Justin Trudeau government is sitting idle and turning a blind eye.

Indian Foreign Ministry says that Canadian PM Trudeau is diverting attention from the issue by not taking action against Khalistani terrorists. The Trudeau government has supported the anti-India activities that have been going on openly in Canada for a long time.
