"Controversial Killing of Sikh Leader Ignites Protests and Political Tensions in Canada"

Hundreds of members of Canada's Sikh community protested outside the Indian Consulate in Toronto, accusing the Indian government of being responsible for the unsolved killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Nijjar, who advocated for the creation of an independent Sikh state called Khalistan, was declared a wanted terrorist by India. The demonstrators, carrying flags representing their separatist movement, clashed with a smaller group supporting the Indian government. Tensions have risen between Canada and India since the killing, with New Delhi accusing Ottawa of laxity in handling Sikh protesters.
