The Indian central government has alerted the Canadian government of a Khalistan terrorist camp operational in the Canadian city of Mission in its British Columbia region, reports The Times of India.
According to Punjab intelligence sleuths, Hardeep Nijjar, a Sikh living on a Canadian passport, has formed a group of Sikh youth to attack Punjab.
A report on the development has been given to the External Affairs and Home Affairs ministries. The report, which has sought Nijjar’s extradition, reads:
Nijjar has been imparting arms training to his group in Canada after the arrest of former KTF chief Jagtar Tara in Thailand by the Interpol last year. He took Mandeep Singh and three more Sikh youths recently for AK-47 training in a range near Mission where they were made to fire for four hours daily.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeu’s cabinet has Harjit Singh – a Sikh himself – as Defence Minister.
