Canada: NDP leader Jagmeet Singh expresses deep concern on developments in Punjab, read details
Ottawa, March 18, 2023: NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has expressed deep concern at developments in Punjab.
In a series of tweets, he said, “I am deeply concerned by reports that India has suspended civil liberties and imposed an internet blackout throughout the state of Punjab.
These draconian measures are unsettling for many given their historical use to execute extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances during the 1984 Sikh Genocide.
I am calling on Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government to immediately contact their Indian counterparts to express concern regarding the suspension of civil liberties and the safety of Canadians abroad.”
