Imagine if the government at present decides to go an extra mile to protect people like the Muftis, Mohammad Zubair, Zakir Naik, Hafiz Saeed, and issue a special decree, that shall provide these people security at every level possible
Sounds nightmarish, isn’t it? But that is what Canada is exactly doing. Let’s find out about the hilarious developments in Canada, and why the current Trudeau govt. is only making a mockery of itself.
Protecting separatists at all costs
Canada, globally recognized for its multicultural harmony, open-armed acceptance of immigrants, and upholding democratic values, is causing a stir with its recent approach to issues of terrorism, and separatism. What was once seen as an absurd exaggeration, now looks like an irony that seems to be increasingly reflective of the prevailing climate.
The first spark of concern was ignited when it was unveiled that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the national intelligence agency of Canada, had compiled a list of individuals affiliated with the Sikh activism, especially that related to the Khalistan movement. These individuals are believed to be under threat of assassination following the murder of Hardeep Nijjar, which resulted in a massive uproar from the Sikh community within and outside of Canada.

For those unaware, the Khalistan movement, which seeks to create a separate Sikh state in the Punjab region of India, has been associated with numerous violent acts in the past, and its advocates are viewed by many as threats to peace and stability. As such, the Canadian government’s decision to extend protection to these individuals represents a dramatic departure from the norm, creating a chasm of disparity between traditional democratic values and the current stance of the Canadian administration.
The desperation of Trudeau administration
What is more perplexing is that Canada, a beacon of human rights and democratic values, seems to be prioritizing the safety of those seen by many as purveyors of violence over its inherent commitment to global peace and the safety of its citizens. It is a narrative that could be likened to a dystopian fiction; a first-world nation is officially compiling a list of controversial figures they need to protect from attacks by their rival factions or foreign intelligence agencies.

Nijjar was an activist for Khalistan and the Sikh independence group ‘Sikhs for Justice’✊🏽
It appears for this he was targeted. The CSIS gave a warning to Nijjar that there had been threats against him 3 days ago😕 pic.twitter.com/aDo7iL6DSx

This turn of events raises essential questions about the nation’s priorities and the principles it upholds. It is an unsettling image – a government safeguarding controversial figures and those involved in unlawful activities, merely because they belong to a specific community. Such a course of action threatens to undermine the bedrock of fairness and equality upon which democratic nations stand.
The road ahead for Canada
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, with this course of action, appears to be navigating uncharted waters, potentially bringing Canada to a dangerous precipice. Historical evidence suggests that appeasement of such radical elements rarely leads to a peaceful resolution. Instead, it often leads to an escalation in divisive tendencies, consequently creating greater challenges for the appeasing nation.

Ironically, amidst this narrative of protection and appeasement, some figures are conspicuously absent from the list of protected individuals. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a well-known figure within the Khalistani movement, does not seem to be a beneficiary of this ‘benevolent’ policy. The rationale behind this omission, whether it is intentional or merely an oversight, is unclear and adds another layer of intrigue to the unfolding saga.
The Canadian government’s recent actions, offering a protective shield to individuals associated with divisive ideologies, have stirred a whirlpool of reactions both within the nation and globally. These policy shifts appear to tread a thin line between appeasement and maintaining peace. As these events continue to unfold, the world watches with bated breath, anxiously hoping that the cherished values of democracy, peace, and justice are not trampled upon in the process.
