Protesters decried the shooting death of Metro Vancouver Sikh temple president Hardeep Singh Nijjar as foreign interference.
A volunteer at the Metro Vancouver Sikh temple whose president was gunned down a week ago said Hardeep Singh Nijjar knew his life may have been in danger.
“When they are informing our leaders that their lives may be in danger, we have all the right to believe that it could be foreign interference involved in this,” Singh said. Protesters, however, say they are convinced the killing was linked to Nijjar’s active role in advocating for an independent Sikh state of Khalistan in India.
Protesters, however, described Nijjar as “peaceful,” “humble” and “loved in the community” for his outreach efforts. Those included offering free meals to people in need and travelling to Kamloops in 2021 to offer support to First Nations groups after the discovery of unmarked graves at a residential school site.
