Khalistani duplicity at denial of visas
The Free Press Journal|December 12, 2024
Imagine the irony: people devoted to breaking up India are now livid because the country won't let them in. Yes, dear readers, the same Khalistani supporters who've made a profession out of demonizing India are now bemoaning their visa denials to attend weddings and festivals in the very nation they denounce.

Canadian media outlet Global News has thrown its hands up in theatrical despair, reporting that India is asking pro-Khalistani Canadians to denounce terrorism and declare allegiance to the idea of a united India before granting them visas. It's a bit like demanding a "no arson" pledge from someone trying to buy matches-logical, yet deeply upsetting to a firestarter.

Among the teary-eyed complainants is Bikramjit Singh Sandhar, once the president of the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Surrey-a place known more for Khalistani posters than langar meals.
