India-Canada News Live: Pro-Khalistan elements in Canada luring gullible Sikh youth by sponsoring their visas

Pro-Khalistan elements based in Canada have been luring gullible Sikh youth to the North American country by sponsoring their visa with the sole objective of using them to carry out their agenda on Canadian soil, sources said on Wednesday. The sources said Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose killing has led to a row between India and Canada, and other individuals like Moninder Singh Bual, Parminder Pangli, Bhagat Singh Brar have been using the lured Sikh youth to carry out their pro-Khalistan agenda from Canadian soil. However, they faced shortage of foot soldiers due to lack of support in the diaspora. 

Illegal immigrants in Canada and students, who have complete their studies in Canada but have not been able to find suitable jobs, are the most susceptible. Pro-Khalistan extremists offer them shelter and low scale jobs for sustenance using gurdwara resources, they said. These "indebted" youth join "the Khalistan brigade in Canada" willingly or unwillingly. (PTI)
