Who is Hardeep Singh Nijjar? Canadian Sikh leader allegedly killed by India agents

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau informed Parliament that there were “credible allegations” of a link between “agents of India” and the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh leader whom Trudeau described as a Canadian citizen. Nijjar, who moved to Canada in February 1997 to be a plumber, was a key figure in the movement for an independent Khalistan — a separate homeland for Sikhs in the Indian subcontinent. But for the Indian government, he was wanted for allegedly being a “mastermind/active member” of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), which the Indian government designates as a terrorist group. Travis Prasad takes a closer look at Nijjar, this killing, and the centre of this diplomatic storm.
