Speaking at Canada’s house of commons, Arya recently called out the presence of Khalistani elements in Canadian soil and condemned the blowing-up of Air India Flight 182, due to bomb planted by Khalistan extremists. ” Even today, the ideology responsible for this terrorist attack is still alive among few people in Canada.”
New Enquiry Into Theories Promoted By Khalistani Elements
Later in his speech, Arya also addressed the petition on the parliamentary portal that calls for a new inquiry into conspiracy theories promoted by Khalistani terrorists.
Speaking at Canadian parliament, he said ”Now there is a petition on parliament portal asking for a new enquiry promoting conspiracy theories promoted by Khalistan extremists. Mr. Bal Gupta, whose wife Rama was killed in this attack told the Globe and Mail “It’s deeply frustrating. It opens up old wounds all over again. It’s all garbage. It’s an attempt to gain publicity and support for terrorist activities.”
Earlier, this prominent Canadian MP emphasised, that Canadian society is being “polluted” by Khalistani extremists who are “abusing” the freedoms guaranteed under the Charter of Rights.
“Our land is being polluted by Khalistani extremists abusing our freedoms guaranteed by our Canadian Charter of Rights.” said Chandra Arya.
This statement came amidst heightened tensions in India-Canada relations following the killing of Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot dead in Surrey, British Columbia, in June last year.
