Justin Trudeau’s ongoing tirades against Bharat have taken an intriguing twist with the unexpected entrance of Canadian journalist Terry Milewski into the fray. Milewski, a well-known critic of the Trudeau family and their cozy associations with extremists of all stripes, has put forth a rather unique proposition: Why don’t Khalistan proponents extend their demands to Pakistan as well?
Against the backdrop of worsening diplomatic relations between India and Canada, exacerbated by the presence of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, Terry Milewski has launched a scathing attack on the Khalistan movement. He has also boldly claimed that Pakistan plays a significant role in driving the Khalistani agenda.
In a recent interview, this Canadian journalist posed a straightforward question: Why aren’t Khalistan advocates seeking a share of the more than 200-year-old Sikh Empire territory that now lies within borders of Pakistan? Milewski pointed out that Lahore, the present-day capital of Punjab in Pakistan, was the epicenter of the Sikh Empire, the seat of power held by the legendary Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Terry Milewski, a prominent figure in Canadian journalism and a CBC TV news contributor, has conducted extensive research on the Khalistan movement. His book, “Blood for Blood: Fifty Years of the Global Khalistan Project,” delves deep into the subject. He reiterated his firm stance during the interview, categorically denouncing the Khalistan demand as absurd.
In an attempt to provide historical context, Milewski drew attention to the fact that the envisioned Sikh state advocated by militant extremists bears some resemblance to the Sikh Empire established by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, with its capital in Lahore, now located in Pakistan. He pointed out that during the partition of India, Punjab was divided into two parts, with a significant portion becoming part of Pakistan. Both Lahore and Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev, find themselves within Pakistan’s boundaries.
Milewski’s inquiry hinges on the nature of the Sikh state these radical extremists aspire to create. He questions how they can pursue this goal without including the regions of the Sikh Empire that now lie within Pakistan.
Terry Milewski underscores the apparent omission of any demand for a share of the Sikh Empire territory from Pakistan. He argues that these regions of Pakistan are integral to Sikh culture, prompting the question of why Khalistan proponents don’t assert their claims in that direction.
Furthermore, Milewski accuses Justin Trudeau of following in the footsteps of his father, Pierre Trudeau. During Pierre Trudeau’s tenure, he openly supported Khalistani extremists, including figures like Talwinder Singh Parmar, who later orchestrated the Kanishka bombing, resulting in the deaths of numerous Indians and Canadians alike.

According to Milewski, the potential creation of Khalistan would likely strain relations with India and align the new state more closely with Pakistan. He believes Pakistan’s involvement is evident in the fact that these Khalistani organizations refrain from making claims on Pakistani Punjab. Notably, the Khalistan Tiger Force was founded by Jagtar Singh Tara, who remains active in Pakistan. Additionally, Pakistan has provided shelter to many Khalistani individuals.
Terry Milewski’s intervention in the Khalistan discourse has injected fresh perspectives into the ongoing debate. His proposition regarding the Sikh Empire’s territories within Pakistan, historical context, and concerns about the implications of Khalistan’s formation add complexity to an already contentious issue.
