Sagarika Mitra, Content Head of JAN KI BAAT delves into the revelations and asks 9 questions
In a bombshell report published on September 19, 2023, by the Canadian press, it has been unveiled that terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was in frequent contact with Canadian intelligence officers in the months preceding his murder. These revelations, brought to light by Nijjar’s own son, Balraj Singh Nijjar, cast a long shadow of doubt on Canada’s security establishment and raise troubling questions about its handling of a man designated as a terrorist by India.
Here are the six shocking revelations from the Vancouver Sun article that the world must not ignore:
1) Terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was meeting regularly with Canadian intelligence officers in the months leading up to his murder.
2) Balraj Singh Nijjar, Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s son, disclosed that his father was in contact with Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) officers “once or twice a week.”
3) Just two days before his tragic murder, Nijjar had met with CSIS officers and astonishingly had another meeting scheduled with them only two days later.
4) These mysterious meetings reportedly commenced in February and steadily increased in frequency over the following months.
5) Even more disturbingly, Hardeep Singh Nijjar had allegedly attended a meeting with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in which they were informed about threats to his life. Shockingly, his sole advice from Canadian authorities was to “stay at home.”
6) Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Chief of Sikhs for Justice and a close associate of Nijjar, revealed that Nijjar had urgently sought a bulletproof vest from Canadian authorities as early as April or May. He claimed that they had allegedly responded that they could not provide one.
Now, as these revelations come to light, it is imperative that Canada, Canadian authorities, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau answer the following pressing questions:
1. Why did Canadian intelligence officers engage in regular meetings with Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a man officially designated as a terrorist by India?
2. What vital information or intelligence did Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) officers glean from their frequent interactions with Nijjar?
3. How was the intelligence gathered from Nijjar used to safeguard Canada’s national security, and were these efforts successful?
4. What prompted the escalation in the frequency of meetings between Nijjar and CSIS officers in the months leading up to his murder, and what was the nature of their engagement with an individual linked to terrorism?
5. Why did Canadian authorities, who were aware of threats to Nijjar’s life, provide such an inadequate response by advising him to ‘stay at home’?
6. How did Canadian intelligence evaluate the credibility of the threats to Nijjar’s life, and were proper investigative and mitigation measures put in place?
7. Were there sufficient mechanisms in place to monitor and track Nijjar’s movements, especially considering his association with the Khalistan movement and its potential implications for Canada’s national security?
8. In light of emerging evidence pointing towards the ISI’s involvement, what actions have Canadian authorities taken to investigate and address the potential role of external agencies?
9. Are there inherent flaws within Canada’s security apparatus that permit individuals associated with terrorism to operate with relative freedom and maintain access to government agencies?
These questions demand immediate and comprehensive answers, as they not only challenge the integrity of Canada’s security establishment but also have far-reaching implications for international relations and counterterrorism efforts. The world awaits a transparent and accountable response from Justin Trudeau
