Who killed Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada’s Surrey

New Delhi: After Paramjit Singh Panjwar and Happy “Phd” in Pakistan, another Khalistani Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 46, too was killed by unidentified gunmen but this time in Canada’s Surrey.

Canada has become a hotbed of Khalistani activities with bomb explosions and killings in Punjab being planned from there and the Justine Trudeau government has turned a deaf ear to repeated Indian pleas to check their activities.

Nijjar was detained in Canada five years back but released without charges being filed against him.

Only recently, a huge controversy erupted over a parade float depicting the killing of late prime minister Indira Gandhi's assassination in Canada’s Brampton.

The parade was organised on the anniversary of Operation Blue Star which was carried out in 1984 to flush out terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale from the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar.

India again lodged a strong protest with the Trudeau government but there was no visible effort from the Canadian government to take any action in this regard.

The Canadian government is also allowing activities of gangsters like Goldy Brar to run unaffected from its soil. He openly takes responsibility for the killings of rival gangsters from Canada. Many suspected Khalistani terrorists have taken shelter in Canada after running away from India.

Nijjar too was a wanted terrorist in India with NIA declaring a reward of Rs 10 lakh on him for planning a killing of a Hindu priest in Punjab but despite that, he was elected unopposed to head the local Gurdwara in Surrey.

Nijjar is suspected to have organised an arms training camp for terrorists in British Columbia in 2015.

Nihar’s activities go back to 2010 when an FIR was filed against him for his involvement in a bomb blast near a temple in Patiala.

Sources said it is for the first time that various Khalistani factions have indulged in blood spilling in Canada and Nijjar May also has been killed by rival Khalistani factions in Canada who often come to kill each other over money matters.

Last year another long-time Khalistani Ripudaman Malik of Babbar Khalsa, a terrorist outfit responsible for many terrorist incidents in Punjab, was killed in Surrey.

Malik was accused of playing a role in the bombing of the Air India flight Kanishka in June 1985 that killed 329 people but in 2005 he was acquitted of all charges in the case.

Nijjar was alleged to be heading Khalistan Tiger Force and worked for Sikhs for Justice another Khalistani outfit.

Before Nijjar another Khalistani terrorist Avatar Singh Khanda died, alleged due to cancer, in a UK hospital.
