The federal police force is closely monitoring a planned rally on July 8 to protest the killing of a Sikh community leader in British Columbia. Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, B.C., was shot on June 18 and some supporters suspect the Indian government of being behind the targeted killing. The RCMP is adapting their protective measures to ensure adequate protection for designated individuals and premises. Previous protests involving Sikhs in San Francisco and London resulted in vandalism against Indian diplomatic missions. The U.S. State Department condemned the vandalism as a criminal offense. The Indian government has criticized Canada’s approach towards Sikh extremism. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assured that his government takes action against terrorism and extremism.
