London, July 9, 2020: Two Khalistan extremists — Bhaghat Singh and Parvkar Singh Dulai — will remain on Canada’s no-fly list.
According to a secret case brief report reported by Global News , Canada , the Canadian Intelligence Service believe that Brar is a Canada-based Khalistani extremist who has been engaged in terrorist-related activities, particularly in fundraising in support of terrorist attacks overseas.
Global news report further says that the documents suggest that Brar was also involved in "promoting extremism, including the radicalisation of the youth, with the aim of achieving Khalistan independence; and attack planning and facilitation, including weapons procurement, to conduct attacks in India".
Brar, is accused of working with Pakistan’s military intelligence agency Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and planned an attack in India that was disrupted in 2017.
He travelled to Pakistan in 2018, and while returning to Canada, he tried to board a flight in Vancouver International Airport on April 24, 2018, when he was told that he was on Canada's no-fly list.
Dulai, his business partner, was also stopped from boarding a Toronto bound flight on May 17, 2018.
Canadian intelligence reports say Brar visited Pakistan in 2015 and allegedly worked with a man named Gurjeet Singh Cheema to plan an attack across the Indian border. Brar''s role was "to make available arms and ammunitions in India".
The plot failed when the recruits were arrested near the India-Pakistan border while retrieving weapons and ammunition from a cache.
"Dulai has been described by Brar as a very vocal supporter of Khalistan," intelligence reports suggest. He was associated with the Sikh Vision Foundation (SVF), which endorses Talwinder Singh Parmar, the alleged mastermind of the Air India bombings that killed 331 people, most of them were Canadians.
The SVF gave a $175,000 mortgage to Ajaib Singh Bagri a year after he was arrested in 2000 for his alleged role in the Air India bombings.
Balpreet Singh, legal counsel for the World Sikh Organization of Canada (WSO), as quoted by Global News, said there was reason for skepticism of such allegations in the wake of a counter-terrorism co-operation agreement between Canada and India.
