‘Kill India’ chants, flags desecrated: Inside the ‘Khalistan referendum’ held by SFJ in Canada

Relations between India and Canada are improving with resumed trade talks after a low point in 2023 due to the killing of Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. An unofficial "Khalistan Referendum" held in Ottawa by Sikhs for Justice saw participation from thousands of Canadian Sikhs, potentially straining ties again. India criticised the referendum as "farcical" and an interference, while Canada emphasized ongoing law enforcement and public safety dialogues.
