The secessionist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has announced plans to hold a protest and "challenge" India's High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma, during his visit to Surrey, British Columbia. Verma is scheduled to make stops in Victoria, Vancouver, and Surrey to meet with local officials and business leaders.
SFJ's general counsel, Gurpatwant Pannun, announced that the group will "Question-Target" Verma on March 1st. They intend to hold him accountable for the alleged "orchestration" of the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistan figure killed in Surrey last year.
Pannun's statement suggests a potentially tense confrontation during the protest. It's important to note that the Indian government designates SFJ as a terrorist organization. Their actions and statements should be viewed with this context in mind.
