In a joint effort, the United States and Canada have conducted an investigation into what they believe is the Indian government’s targeted campaign against Sikh separatists. The investigation comes after years of alleged human rights abuses and discrimination against the Sikh community in India.
According to officials from both countries, the Indian government has been working to suppress Sikh separatist movements and silence dissent through various means, including surveillance, intimidation, and violence. This has raised concerns about the erosion of democratic values and the violation of human rights in India.
The investigation, which was carried out by both countries’ intelligence agencies, revealed evidence of covert operations and targeted harassment of Sikh activists and individuals associated with the separatist movement. The findings have sparked outrage among the Sikh community in both the US and Canada, with many calling for concrete action to be taken against the Indian government.
Both countries have condemned the actions of the Indian government and have pledged to continue monitoring the situation closely. The US has also called for the Indian government to respect the rights of all its citizens, including minority groups like the Sikhs.
The findings of the investigation have brought to light the ongoing tensions between the Indian government and the Sikh community, as well as the need for greater protection of minority rights in India. As the investigation continues, both the US and Canada are expected to take further action to address the issue and ensure that the rights of Sikhs and other minority groups are upheld.
