Stephen Harper urges Canada to stop supporting divisive groups like Khalistanis

Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has called for Canada to stop supporting divisive groups, including Khalistanis and jihadists. His comments come as Canada-India relations are strained, particularly after the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist. Harper emphasized the need for Canada to reconsider its immigration policies to prevent the entry of individuals with extremist views. He stated that Canada should not import "age-old hatreds" and must be cautious about the values of those it welcomes. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently acknowledged the presence of Khalistani supporters in Canada but clarified that they do not represent the entire Sikh community. Trudeau's remarks followed accusations against Indian agents regarding Nijjar's death, which India has denied.
