British Columbia's attorney general says the community is reeling over allegations India's government may be connected to the death of a Sikh leader in the province, but those on the inside say the allegations aren't a surprise.
Niki Sharma said Tuesday that the link is shocking, and every B.C. resident has the freedom to express their political views without the threat of violence or harm.
"It’s shocking and distressing," she said of the claim. "Every British Columbian has the freedom to express their political views, to express their values without the threat of violence and harm. And what Prime Minister Trudeau revealed was troubling." Singh said he wants Sikhs at risk to receive more protection, while noting that some members have been told by officials that they need to move away to keep themselves safe.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau set out the allegations in Parliament on Monday, saying Canadian intelligence services are investigating credible information of a link between the Indian government and Nijjar's death. Last month, Sikh officials said many thousands voted in the referendum at the same temple location where Nijjar was shot dead. A second vote is set for later this month.
