Canada’s Khalistani Issue: A Warning from Experts on Terror Financing Risks
If Canada doesn’t crack down on Khalistani radicals soon, it could end up like Pakistan—backing state-level terrorism that eventually turns against the country itself. That’s the stark warning from a new report, highlighting how these groups are thriving on Canadian soil and posing a growing threat.
Videos, eyewitness accounts, and media coverage have shown Khalistani presence in Canada for years, but the government has done little to act. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced criticism for staying quiet on attacks against India. Now, all eyes are on his successor, Mark Carney, to fix this and take a stronger stand against Khalistani extremism.
Experts point out that Canada isn’t just offering a safe haven to these Khalistani separatists—it’s also providing financial support that fuels their activities. Groups like Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), based in Canada, often disrespect India’s national flag and hurl insults at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders. Ottawa’s hands-off approach suggests these outfits operate with little fear, possibly under some level of state protection.
For the first time, Canada has admitted that Khalistani terror groups are active on its territory and getting financial help. This came in a recent Finance Department report on money laundering and terror financing risks. The report states that these Khalistani organizations suspect of raising funds in countries like Canada through shady methods.
It details how terror groups use charity scams, drug trafficking, and even vehicle theft to generate money, turning Canada into a hotspot for terror financing. Khalistani terrorists exploit non-profit organizations and donations from the Sikh diaspora. They also tap into modern sources like crowdfunding and cryptocurrency to keep the cash flowing.
This eye-opening report urges Canada to act fast on Khalistani radicalism before it spirals out of control, much like the self-inflicted wounds seen in Pakistan’s history with terrorism. As global concerns grow, the world watches to see if Mark Carney’s government will finally step up.
