Controversy Surrounding Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s Death and Sikh Politics in Canada

Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the operational chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force, was killed extrajudicially on June 18 according to accusations made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in front of the Canadian Parliament. New Delhi is still waiting for Ottawa to identify the assassin Indian agent and provide proof of the same.
The unconventional Canadian Prime Minister and his Foreign Minister continued to criticize India despite the fact that the Canadian police have stated that an investigation is still ongoing. He used intelligence from the Five Eyes partnership as the foundation for his “credible allegation”.
Events since the July 15, 2022, shooting death of Ripudaman Singh Malik in Surrey, British Columbia, a Sikh activist who had been cleared in the 1985 Air India Kanishka terror bombing, have been stitched together by Hindustan Times to demonstrate the toxicity of Sikh politics in Canada. Although Canadian Mounties detained two people, Tanner Fox from Abbotsford and Jose Lopez from New Westminster, the inquiry did not go into the assassination’s plot or the roles that Hardeep Singh Nijjar and Moninder Boyle played in the murder.
Ripudaman Singh Malik’s rivals used Fox and Lopez as hitmen; Malik had praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a letter written in February 2022 for his efforts on behalf of the Sikh community in India; however, the investigation into the conspiracy was never carried out because of the Justin Trudeau government’s vote-bank politics.Nijjar was shot by an assassin on June 18 in the same Surrey town where Malik was murdered a year earlier. Nijjar served as the KTF chief in Canada as well as the representative of the banned Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a terrorist group run by dual national G S Pannu.
After Malik returned from India in 2019 having undergone a transformation, the Guru Nanak Temple and former President Moninder Singh Boyle of another gurudwara, Sri Dashmesh Darbar, along with their posse of radicalized local media, began persecuting Malik. After meeting with the Akal Takht Jathedar and SGPC representatives in India, Ripu Malik received formal approval from the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) to print copies of the Sri Master Granth Sahib (SGGS) at his office in Canada. Nijjar and Boyle started a full-fledged campaign against Malik and harshly denounced the Jathedar and the SGPC after fearing they were losing control of the Khalistan cause in the unremarkable Surrey town in the back of beyond BC, Canada.

Then, Nijjar, Boyle, and their radicalized Sikh gang launched a campaign against Malik by distributing false information that the SGPC should retract its approval of the Holy Book issued by the Kanishka bombing suspects because it was “beadbi” full of errors. Akal Takht Jathedar requested that the British Columbia Gurudwara Council remove all printed copies of SGGS from Malik’s property in response to mounting demand. The printing equipment was also taken away by Nijjar and Boyle right away, but they refused to give it back even when it was discovered that the Holy Book was error-free.
