Here is the rewritten article:
A prominent leader in British Columbia’s Sikh community says the community feels vindicated following explosive new RCMP allegations of foreign interference by agents of the Indian government in Canada.
RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme said that the force has evidence of violent criminal activity in Canada, including homicides and extortion, being connected to Indian government agents.
The RCMP also alleged it has evidence of diplomats collecting information on Canadians for the Indian government, and said there was a significant threat to public safety.
Police took the unusual step one year after the federal government alleged a connection between the government of India and the assassination of B.C. gurdwara president and Khalistan independence activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Members of the Sikh community in B.C. have long alleged they’re being targeted by the Indian government, and say Monday’s revelations serve as further proof.
Individuals like myself have had multiple duty to warn (notices) against my life as well, so I can say this from a personal space as well as from a community leader space, is that it is shocking to us that this could be allowed to continue now, said B.C. Gurdwaras Council spokesperson Moninder Singh.
The community leader added, “We will not be pressured. We will not allow any foreign government to intimidate or silence our community. Harder steps by the Canadian government against India is what we want to see. So while these individuals have left, how do we avoid this situation in the future?”
BC Conservative Leader John Rustad called the allegations “deeply troubling,” and called for an investigation into foreign interference targeting the Sikh community and other Canadians.
The B.C. government has been briefed on the investigation, and is doing everything it can to support police and keep the Sikh community safe, said BC NDP Leader David Eby.
BC Conservative Leader John Rustad also called for an investigation into foreign interference targeting the Sikh community and other Canadians and said, “The Sikh community in British Columbia, like every other group, deserves to live in safety without fear of intimidation or harassment by foreign governments.”
The government of India denies any suggestion that it has been involved in crimes in Canada.
Conclusion:
The Sikh community in British Columbia has long faced allegations of foreign interference and intimidation, and the recent revelations from the RCMP have validated their concerns. The community leaders are calling for further action from the Canadian government to address these issues and ensure the well-being and safety of the Sikh community in B.C.
