In the wake of escalating tensions between India and Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted the existence of Khalistani supporters in Canada. However, he clarified that they do not represent the broader Sikh community. This revelation comes as relations soured following the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani extremist. Trudeau's comments during a Diwali event reflect a nuanced recognition of the complexities within the communities involved, while also addressing recent clashes in Canada.
