The recent legal action initiated by Amarjeet Sohi, Mayor of Edmonton (“Statement of Claim” filed in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta on Oct 11), is full of defamatory statements about me. More importantly, it is an attack on public interest journalism. It is an abuse of power inconsistent with the liberal democracy that Canada considers itself to be. The statement of claim questions my status as a journalist. However, hours before the claim was filed, I was publicly acknowledged in the Canadian Parliament as an “anti-terrorism investigative journalist” for my “fearless reporting on Khalistani extremism” by an MP. It is important to note that prior to publishing my reports, I reached out to Mayor Sohi with inquiries in good faith, which he did not address. The allegations I have reported are supported by extensive documentation. I view this legal action as a politically motivated attempt to silence whistleblowers and intimidate journalists who report on large-scale government corruption. I am prepared to defend myself vigorously with strong legal representation. I stand firmly by my reporting. A politician taking legal action against an independent journalist who has uncovered matters of public interest contradicts Canadian values and principles. I invite everyone to view my journalism regarding this matter at https://infosohi.com I call upon Canadians who value transparency and integrity to stand with me in this fight against Amarjeet Sohi's unethical actions. We must not allow politicians to set a precedent that undermines honest reporting. I encourage those who wish to support the cause of defending the principles of a free press to visit https://infosohi.com Explore in-depth videos uncovering the details behind Amarjeet Sohi's actions. These videos provide documented evidence and insights into the issues impacting public interest.

On May 1st, Khalistani group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) and Pakistani Muslims gathered outside India’s High Commission in London, U.K., alleging that India used the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack—which killed 26 civilians, mostly Hindu tourists—as a false flag or pretext to blame Pakistan. Indians also showed up to counter-protest, holding signs that read “Pakistan: the nation that exports terror,” while denouncing all forms of terrorism and questioning why the Khalistani movement seeks to secede only the part of Punjab in India, but not the portion that lies in Pakistan. A Pakistani protester said, “We [Pakistan] are always with human rights,” arguing that the movement seeks secession only from India due to a lack of human rights. In response, a counter-protester stated, “They’re all being supported by our enemies to divide India and the Indian people.” “They’re all sponsored, they just want to destabilize India,” stated another pro-India demonstrator.

"If we are as bad as I think we are, we could go bankrupt and be absorbed by the county," said Amber Harris, the longest-serving councillor in the Town of Gibbons since 2013. I travelled to Gibbons, Alberta—a small town north of Edmonton—to speak directly with residents who are raising alarm over what they believe is serious financial mismanagement and a growing pattern of secrecy within their municipal government. "The corruption here is not isolated to Gibbons—it's all over the province," stressed Darren Longstaff—a 25-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, a Gibbons resident for 21 years, and a volunteer firefighter for 8 of those years. "Our current council seems to have no set agenda to actually be transparent with the people," he added. Charlotte St. Germain, a 12-year resident of Gibbons, argues that many policies, bylaws, and procedures are not being followed. "I believe there are a lot of things being discussed in-camera (closed to the public) that shouldn't be—they don't want us to know how bad it is." Residents have launched a petition demanding accountability and transparency from Municipal Affairs, asking whether the now-former Municipal Affairs Minister would be proud to have Gibbons on his resume. Minister Ric McIver resigned last night—just hours after Media Bezirgan submitted a media inquiry to the Town of Gibbons. Councillor Amber Harris alleges that Gibbons is facing deep financial mismanagement, secretive decision-making, and preferential treatment of developers—all enabled through closed-door meetings and a lack of provincial oversight. UPDATE: Acting Mayor Dale Yushchyshyn responded to our media inquiry with a brief statement, categorizing the questions raised as either already addressed in public forums or related to in-camera sessions protected under FOIP legislation. He wrote: “All of the questions that you have asked can be classified into one of two categories: questions that have been asked and answered in public several times, and questions that relate to discussions that occurred in closed session (in-camera) and cannot be answered in public.” For more independent journalism please make sure to contribute and follow our reports https://www.mediabezirgan.com/donate

Jasraj Singh Hallan, the Conservative MP for Calgary Forest Lawn and the current Shadow Minister of Finance, is facing scrutiny over conflicting claims about his educational background. In a 2020 biography, Hallan states that he holds an accounting degree from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). However, by 2025, that claim appears to have shifted — with Hallan instead describing his qualification as an accounting diploma. In other instances, he refers to it as an accelerated program, adding further confusion over the exact nature and credibility of his accounting education. On top of his questionable educational background and the confusion surrounding his year of birth, MP Jasraj Singh Hallan openly admits to past involvement with gangs — engaged in activities where, by his own account, the risk of arrest was very real. This raises a fundamental question: what makes MP Hallan so special that CPC leader Pierre Poilievre would choose him for the high-profile role of Finance Critic over other candidates with consistent academic records and no history of gang involvement or criminality? Is this appointment truly based on merit — or is it part of a broader political calculation to secure the Khalistani vote banks within Canada? Questions arise as to the extent of the World Sikh Organization’s (WSO) influence over the CPC. Mr. Hallan did not respond to our inquiries.

Scenes from yesterday’s annual Sikh festival, which reportedly drew 300,000 people in Vancouver, BC, Canada. “Kill Modi politics,” shouted a group of Khalistani protesters stationed along the parade route. The parade celebrating the founding of the Khalsa was organized by Canada’s oldest and richest Sikh place of worship, the Khalsa Diwan Society in Vancouver, BC. The atmosphere was festive, with swords and spears commonplace as part of Sikh culture. Both federal and provincial major political parties had their tents set up. One overlooked fact about the organizers: a tainted history of proximity to international drug traffickers. The Society’s 2015 president, Sohan Singh Deo, is the brother of notorious wanted gangster Parminder Singh “Pindhi” Deo. In 2005, the Society’s executive Kalwant Singh Puar tried to bail out his daughter, Ravinderjit Kaur Shergill, from U.S. custody after she was charged—and later convicted—of conspiracy to distribute ecstasy and distribution of ecstasy. Shergill was a Canadian politician connected to the NDP and Liberal Party, was caught boasting to an undercover officer about his family’s political connections and his brother’s ability to put people six feet deep during the operation. The Khalistani group that was excluded from the parade will organize their own next week in Surrey, BC.

Mr. Khela once held the distinction of being the first Canadian of Sikh faith to be sentenced for terrorism-related crimes in 1987. After serving six years, his conviction was overturned, Canada issued an apology, and he was released. Since the target of the alleged conspiracy was an Air India flight departing from a U.S. airport—and with the FBI leading the operation that foiled the plot—questions remain as to why he was not extradited and tried in the United States. Had he been tried there, would he be free today? During the Canadian trial, Mr. Khela admitted his ties with Babbar Khalsa (a Sikh Khalistani terrorist organization responsible for high-profile assassinations and bombings). Today, he does not deny this involvement and continues to praise Babbar Khalsa's record. However, he seems to dispute his daughter’s claim that he holds a leadership role within the organization, stating instead that he is merely a servant of the cause while openly wearing its insignia. Santokh Singh Khela is well respected among Khalistani Sikhs today, and he gave a speech at last week's Khalsa Day Parade in Surrey, B.C., praising Babbar Khalsa’s record. The event, which drew half a million attendees, was also attended by Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, and several other MPs, including members of the Liberal Party.

Whistle Stop Cafe owner Chris Scott, from Mirror, Alberta, says he is at least $6,000 out of pocket for covering the federal and provincial gas taxes himself, instead of passing them on to consumers for a day, to showcase what a truly prosperous Alberta should look like. Scott's choice of day for the event led some to question if it was an April Fools' joke. But it was no joke—it also coincided with the day the federal government lifted the carbon tax. However, for Scott, “that’s really a drop in the bucket." “If you look at what the Alberta government collects in road tax and what they spend on roads, you’ll see exactly why we don’t need it,” emphasized Scott, arguing that an Alberta without any gas taxes is entirely feasible. "We’ve been supporting the Easterners long enough. I think it’s time to look after ourselves. To hell with them!" said one customer, in favor of Alberta's separation from Canada, while filling up multiple jerry cans.

This exclusive report uncovers how a federal minister, a Department of Justice lawyer, and their family member charged with cocaine trafficking all listed the same residential address. Raymanpreet Singh Uppal, brother of then-Minister of Multiculturalism Tim Uppal was charged with cocaine trafficking in 2014 and drug possession in 2008, yet in both cases, federal prosecutors withdrew the charges against him. In 2014, prosecutors secured convictions for his white co-accused while dropping charges against the minister's brother and another Sikh. Do criminal charges disappear when you’re the relative of a minister and a Department of Justice lawyer? In the 2014 cocaine trafficking bust, four individuals were charged, yet Edmonton Police stated they searched only three houses and one vehicle. Did they search the Ellerslie Road property—or was it spared to avoid the scandal of raiding a property linked to a minister, a Department of Justice lawyer, and their parents, for drugs and firearms?

A Calgary man comes forward with allegations against Conservative leader @PierrePoilievre, claiming he was physically and emotionally bullied by him as a teen. “Mr. Poilievre was one of my childhood bullies.” “He picked me up on my face and lift me up — which was not very good for the neck and the back.” “He gave me a beatdown on more than one occasion... he was quite the terror to most of the kids on the block.” The man says Pierre Poilievre disappeared from the neighborhood for several years: “One day, he up and vanished. And then he came back. But we didn't have any other interactions.” This raises the question whether there may be other reasons why Mr. Poilievre has not applied for a security clearance. Despite the lasting impact of the alleged abuse, he still says: “I haven't forgiven him. I haven't forgotten about it. But I do believe Pierre is the best choice of the candidates out there... I’m going to be voting for him.” The interviewee estimates Pierre Poilievre was 4–5 years older and had already left high school when he started. While they weren’t in school together, they lived on the same block — raising concern that Poilievre was targeting someone significantly younger during the alleged bullying. I reached out to Mr. Poilievre to ask whether he disputes these allegations and whether he plans to address them in a manner befitting someone seeking to be Prime Minister. As of publication, no response has been received. Consider supporting Media Bezirgan for more non-partisan news coverage: https://www.mediabezirgan.com/donate

With Trump’s appointment of Kash Patel as FBI Director, proponents of the Khalistani movement anticipate an imminent crackdown on Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a transnational organization based in the U.S. that has been at the forefront of orchestrating anti-India protests across North America and beyond. SFJ is composed of highly questionable individuals, including Dr. Bakhshish Singh Sandhu, a practicing medical doctor in the U.S. who obtained his diploma from a foreign university shut down for selling thousands of fake medical degrees. The group's Ottawa organizer, Santokh Singh Khela, was sentenced to life in prison in Canada after being busted by the FBI for allegedly conspiring to bomb an Air India flight departing from New York—just after the Air India bombings of 1985, which killed 331 people. However, a decade later, Canadian courts overturned his conviction. SFJ has orchestrated multiple protests across North America and beyond, where they have glorified suicide bombers, terrorist acts, and political assassinations, brandished violent imagery, chanted “Kill” rhetoric, and even released videos suggesting threats to specific Air India flights and certain dates. Despite its extremist ties, threats, and historical connection to terrorist figures, SFJ continues to operate freely from U.S. soil. The real question remains—will the United States finally take action? Support independent journalism: https://www.mediabezirgan.com/donate

London police rush to detain a Khalistani separatist who ran in front of the vehicle carrying India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. Unparalleled Love for Justin Trudeau: Khalistanis chant, “Long live Jathadar (leader of Sikh soldiers) Trudeau!” I was surprised to hear this chant in London, U.K. by non-Canadians. When I questioned them on how Trudeau earned such a serious title, they retracted the chant but went to great lengths to express their admiration for him. “When Khalistan is established, there will be a statue of him [Justin Trudeau],” one protester said. “Trudeau’s face will be on Khalistan currency,” another added. Justin Trudeau seems to be popular all around the world—except in Canada. Support independent media, make this coverage possible: https://www.mediabezirgan.com/donate

Washington police REMOVED Khalistani “Kill Modi Politics” demonstrators from the park in front of the White House, where U.S. President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Modi are meeting. The pro-India crowd was allowed to demonstrate, while the anti-India crowd was forced out of the park. Police say the organizers of the “Kill Modi Politics” rally did not apply for a permit to demonstrate in the park.

In this exclusive extended interview, Dr. Gary Botting (PhD in Law, PhD in English), a 30-year former Criminal Defence Lawyer and author of the leading textbook on Extradition Law, provides expert insights on transnational government corruption, the U.S.-Canada extradition process, and the shortcomings of modern journalism. Dr. Botting explains the escalating nature of corruption in an allegory: "It's like a snowball—you start rolling it down the hill, it's all big fun, but all of a sudden, it becomes an avalanche. And there is a car down below, and the avalanche hits the car, knocks it into a train, and the train goes off the tracks and rolls into a house… Where does it start and where does it end? But the point is, look at the kids throwing the snowballs, I guess, first, and work your way down until something significant—where there is intention to defraud, intention to act corruptly, to siphon off federal funds so the little businessman doesn't get the advantage of that, but only the huge megalithic corporations. That's where this problem begins and ends, I think. The investigation into whether the megalithic corporation—tied to corporate greed and connected to Canada’s cabinet—is actually functioning in a way that is detrimental to Canadians and, ultimately, to Americans as well." Dr. Botting criticizes the mainstream media for failing to dig deep enough into corruption: "Having been an investigative reporter myself, it's a lost art, I think, unfortunately. I write novels, legal texts, and that's challenging enough, but what needs to happen is the writing of an exposé to show exactly what has happened here in the case of the [Gordie Howe International] Bridge and the [Regina] Bypass, and how corruption is alive and well in Canada." Sections of this interview were released last year for the Gordie Howe International Bridge Scandal report. To mark it's anniversary, we are releasing the extended version of this interview with valuable insights from Dr. Botting. To learn more about the bridge scandal: GordieHoweScandal.com

Khalistani demonstrators call the Indian government authoritarian terrorists while telling Hindu Canadians to go back to India. Inside the event, Indians celebrate the anniversary of the Indian Constitution. Demonstrations of patriotism and honor are alive and well in Canada, but it all seems to have an Indian flavor, writes Brampton-based independent reporter Greg Wycliffe.

Dr. Jagtaran Singh Dhaliwal, father of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, had his medical license suspended twice, yet his disciplinary record was erased by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO). "The Ontario government and the CPSO have protected Dr. Jagtaran by not disclosing detrimental actions that were taken against this highly questionable alcoholic physician," says Bob Rai, a victim of a fake forensic pathologist who has previously exposed questionable doctors. Dr. Jagtaran Singh Dhaliwal’s first suspension came in 2004, when regulators ordered a competency evaluation. Though his license was later reinstated with restrictions, he lost it again that same year for violating those conditions. It wasn’t until 2008 that his license was reinstated—again with restrictions that remained in place until 2013. Despite this serious disciplinary history, his record has been erased from CPSO's public database, making it impossible for patience to access these past suspensions. However, in the U.S.-based DocInfo database, maintained by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), these disciplinary actions are still documented—revealing a glaring discrepancy between what Ontario regulators allow the public to see and what remains available elsewhere. Adding to the concerns, his medical school records don’t align. The CPSO database lists him as a graduate of Punjabi University, while DocInfo states he graduated from Government Medical College, Patiala—two distinct institutions. It was known that Jagmeet Singh’s father suffered from severe alcoholism while practicing as a psychiatrist in Ontario. What was not known, however, is that the CPSO deleted the history of disciplinary actions arising from it, arguably robbing patients of the agency to determine whether that information is still relevant. "Function as an institution in Canada, not an institution operating out of Pakistan," Rai urges the CPSO. Follow and support for more exclusive news coverage: https://www.mediabezirgan.com/donate

At first, I thought I was being asked not to include the children in the video, but no, it was the opposite. They want India to know that the next generation of Khalistanis are growing with determination in Canada. "Those that will bring their cameras here and show us as extremists and terrorists—even for them the question is—what is your motive at the end of the day?" A spokesperson from Guru Nanak Gurdwara questioned. Celebrating the assassination of India's PM, shouting slogans that are arguably an invitation to violence, and exposing little children to these highly questionable acts... Is it a portrayal of "false media" or is there some truth to it? What's motivation behind exposing children to these? Mainstream media are selective in their coverage.

After executing a slow roll to the U.S.-Canada border town of Coutts, Alberta, to mark the third-year anniversary of the blockade, supporters gathered in Lethbridge to raise funds for the people jailed as a result of their participation in the anti-COVID-19 mandate blockade known as the Coutts border blockade. "We protested, we stood up to our government, and our government is punishing us by putting our people in jail," summarized a participant. The individuals convicted over their roles in the Coutts border blockade are Alex Van Herk, Marco Van Huigenbos, and Gerhard (George) Janzen. They were found guilty of mischief for "organizing" the blockade which protested COVID-19 rules and vaccine mandates. Huigenbos, a former Fort Macleod city councillor is currently serving his 120 day jail sentence. In a separate case related to the same events, Anthony (Tony) Olienick, Chris Carbert, Chris Lysak, and Jerry Morin were charged with conspiracy to commit murder on police officers but were found not guilty of that charge. Olienick and Carbert, however, were convicted of firearms violations and mischief, with both receiving sentences of 6.5 years. The four men were held in remand for almost two years due to the conspiracy to murder charge from which they were eventually acquitted. Supporters argued that they were political prisoners being made examples of with overblown charges. Please consider supporting on-the-ground journalism for more: https://www.mediabezirgan.com/donate

BRAMPTON, ONTARIO: "We have planned to wrap up this encampment for the time being because there's no government," says organizer Mehakdeep Singh, adding that they will come back stronger and fight until they are allowed to continue to stay in Canada. "As international students and workers, we are exploited in every sector, from college to government. We have been exploited by employers..." I asked whether the Liberal government was too late in addressing the exploitation of the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) program, where immigration agencies and employers were selling jobs to foreigners as a pathway to permanent residency. "There were a lot of loopholes in the policies and a fair amount of opportunities to exploit the vulnerable. They could have acted on that long, long ago," said Navjot Salaria, a former international student herself and a member of the PGWP Committee. The group says their protest has achieved some of their goals, one of which is changes to the LMIA program. Support independent journalism at https://www.mediabezirgan.com/donate

An Alberta artist, Norene Procter, pleads with Premier @ABDanielleSmith to reverse course and preserve Alberta's wild horses: "I'd probably get on my knees and beg them to stop hurting our horses." Norene has been an artist for almost four decades, and her favorite subject to paint has always been the horse. The plan to cull the remaining 1,500 of Alberta's wild horses could result in extinction, advocates urge, pointing out that there is no real reason for the cull. "Leave them alone, let them run free; if the horse doesn't represent freedom, what does?" she asks, pointing out that the government used the wild horses in an award-winning tourism film in 2023. "If you're using our animals, treat them with respect! If the horses are sterilized, that works for three to five years and is utterly horrifying to these animals—it affects their groups terribly and that absolutely can lead to extinction," Norene adds. @ZoocheckCanada says that wild horses are being "scapegoated for rangeland damage caused by human activities." They call on Albertan's to contact their elected representatives to stop the cull. For more local news stories, please consider donating at https://www.mediabezirgan.com/donate

Former mayoral candidate Larry Heather (@RobertLeaf4) intentionally violated the "inclusive" bylaw that prohibits protesters from being within 100 meters of venues hosting Drag Queen events. "I'm the first person in all of Calgary to be convicted under this Safe and Inclusive Access Bylaw, but I did it to test its constitutionality," explains Heather. The Court of Justice ruled that Heather's rights were violated; however, considering the cost of policing and the potential for conflict, it determined that "it was far better to have them separated by legislation." Disappointed with the verdict, Heather is now appealing to the public for support in filing an appeal: "It's one thing to pay off a $250 fine, but to me that's not accomplishing anything, that's confirming that the bylaw is valid, I want to challenge the context and the validity of the bylaw itself."

"The government is with us," said Sikhs for Justice president at yesterday's Khalistan "referendum" in Auckland, New Zealand. I recognized familiar faces from Canada and the U.S., and police confirmed that "many" attendees travelled from overseas for the convention. Sikhs for Justice, outlawed in India as a secessionist group, celebrates the assassination of India’s prime minister and reveres the suicide bomber who killed Punjab’s first minister. Their Ottawa organizer, Santokh Singh Khela, sentenced to life for conspiring to bomb Air India Flight 112, was later released after his conviction was overturned and a stay of proceedings was ordered. He is linked to Babbar Khalsa, designated a terrorist group in Canada. The group’s Calgary "referendum" honoured Talwinder Singh Parmar, the "mastermind" of Canada’s deadliest terror attack that killed 331 people. Their general counsel, Gurpatwant Pannun, was investigated by the RCMP in 2023 for making "threats" against Air India. Given this background, I asked if they faced any issues entering New Zealand. They were kind enough to answer this sensitive question, and the response I received was certainly an interesting one: "The government is with us."

With a mere population of 5 million, New Zealand is far behind where Canada is today—whether in the scope of mass immigration, the erosion of public harmony, or the rise of censorship and hate speech laws. However, the protesters appear resolute in their position that they don't want to end up like the multicultural "heaven" of Canada, where the core identity of their nation is arguably lost.

"They're sending a strong message to all Canadians," said Pawlowski after his conviction was upheld, "and that message is 'don't you dare oppose us [the government]."

"The 95,500,000 potentially lethal doses of Fentanyl that have been seized could have taken the lives of every Canadian at least twice over," read the RCMP statement by Assistant Commissioner David Teboul, adding that, "Not only has this enforcement action potentially saved over 95 million lives, it has also served to deny this transnational organized crime group an estimated $485 million in profit." In this video report from Falkland, BC, I explain that it’s not just the "little guys" getting caught with huge amounts of drugs; prominent figures in both Canada and Punjab have made international headlines, bringing shame and harm to their communities.

"The World Sikh Organization not only controls the Unity Party government in Canada – it is also an asset for CSIS,” highlights former Sikh Bob Rai, who left the religion due to its hijacking by extremist, terrorism-supporting organizations. "They never spoke for me, and I do not support their extremist and terrorist ideologies," says Mr. Rai, challenging the WSO's claim that it speaks on behalf of Sikhs in Canada. The World Sikh Organization has been fighting against being regarded as a terrorist and extremist organization even before the Air India bombings of 1985 (Canada’s deadliest terror attack) committed by Khalistani Sikhs. According to an Executive Intelligence Review article from June 10, 1985, titled “The human rights mafia behind Sikh terrorism,” the WSO, which today has or had many of its former executive members or their family members in positions of power within the Canadian government, sought and obtained help to “clean up its terrorist image.” Although that clean-up may have worked to the extent that it allowed former WSO executives' family members like Harjit Sajjan, Tim Uppal, Navdeep Bains, and many others to enjoy unchallenged political careers, those days may now be coming to an end. Through his insider knowledge, Mr. Rai reveals a potential conflict of interest concerning the WSO’s founding president, Gian Singh Sandhu, his daughter, BC Supreme Court Judge Palbinder Shergill, and the Air India Inquiry of 2006. "Palbinder Shergill did not disclose to the Air India inquiry that she was the daughter of Gian Singh Sandhu, who had complicity and knowledge with the Air India bombings of 1985. She kept this hidden from the Canadian public, her family relation with one of the suspects, her own father,” highlighted Mr. Rai. Media Bezirgan was unable to find whether or not Justice Shergill disclosed her familial connection to Gian Singh Sandhu to Justice John Major during the Air India Inquiry. "She kept this hidden from the Canadian public, her family relation with one of the suspects, her own father, and tried to introduce documents that would further propagate the seed planted by CSIS in a desperate attempt to pin these terrorist attacks on the Indian government to shield at least one person that was her own family member,” expresses Mr. Rai. Given the awarding of government jobs to the sons of other executives, passing non-competitive procurement contracts to each other's family members, directing government resources away from Canadians in need on behalf of Sikh charities that fall under the WSO umbrella, and familial connections to influential Canadian politicians like Jagmeet Singh, Tim Uppal, and Harjit Sajjan, questions arise as to how much influence the WSO may have over the BC Supreme Court where Justice Shergill works. "Palbinder Shergill is not only a disgrace to the Canadian justice system; I think that some of her past conduct is highly questionable and diminishes her integrity to zero,” says Mr. Rai. This is a significant revelation given the recent news that Ripudaman Singh Malik’s assassins, who were being tried in BC’s Supreme Court, were given a plea deal for second-degree murder. "The recent plea deal that was given to the killers of Ripudaman Singh Malik… Even though the investigative agencies had overwhelming proof to convict these two young adults of first-degree murder, for reasons unknown and known, they were given a plea deal where if they took the plea deal and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, they would not have to divulge information on who they received payment for the assassination hit job,” says Mr. Rai, raising concerns about what kind of trial the four assassins of Hardeep Singh Nijjar would receive from BC courts. "From the start of this trial, the influence that the World Sikh Organization may or may not have had with this trial is massive. The individuals that have been charged in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar… It is troubling to think what kind of a trial they will be given in BC and what kind of influence the World Sikh Organization will have on the BC government, the Crown prosecutor, and the courtroom in which these shooters will be tried." The fact that BC Supreme Court Judge Justice Shergill is the daughter of the World Sikh Organization's founding president, who was interrogated about the 1985 Air India bombing, is significant.

Khalistan separatists mobbed Modi’s effigy, desecrated flags in Vancouver, and demanded that Trudeau shut down all Indian consulates. At the same time, the group held a similar protest in Toronto, Ontario where they chanted "Long Live Trudeau" and "Kill Modi Politics." https://x.com/BezirganMocha/status/1847323067300958568 Support on-the-ground journalism mediabezirgan.com/donate License inquiries: pr@mediabezirgan.com

Last week, Calgary Police arrested two individuals at Gurdwara Dashmesh, a Sikh place of worship in Calgary, following a confrontation with an alleged 'extortionist' who pulled his gun after being chased by a crowd. Given that the accused was arrested alongside an international student, and the victim operates an immigration firm known for offering LMIA services—which are considered highly dubious—questions arise about the real reasons behind the confrontation. 'Firearms and Gurdwaras; this is not an uncommon incident,' said Bob Rai, a former attendee of Gurdwara Dashmesh, who harshly criticized it as a haven for 'violent, extremist, terrorist-supporting ideologues—full of criminals, drug smugglers, extortionists, and bloodsuckers.' There were no official police statements on the arrests or charges, and there was barely any mainstream media coverage of this story that took place in Calgary. 'There is a lot of Sikh violence that doesn’t get mentioned,' argued Dr. Paul Bullen, who holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Chicago. 'My view is that hate speech laws—and the Canadian sensibility that gives rise to them—play a role in why there is silence. There is also a general protectiveness towards immigrants and minorities, particularly Sikhs, who are numerous and tend to cause trouble if criticized. They can be intimidating.' Following the incident, a local news editor was assaulted by Khalistani elements who didn't like his reporting of the story. As of yet, Calgary Police have not charged the accused with extortion, and while their investigation continues, Media Bezirgan investigated the 'victim' and his immigration empire, which is flooding Canada with foreign cooks, truck drivers, and farmers from Punjab, India.

"You're scaring people," one Inglewood, Calgary resident said, expressing dissatisfaction with the Khalistan protest in his neighbourhood and asking the protesters to leave. The protest, which took place today, was related to an event organized by @CoHNACanada, where Liberal MP @AryaCanada and Alberta Premier @ABDanielleSmith were expected to speak. However, neither attended.

Earlier today, police removed provocative propaganda from the vicinity of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where India’s PM Modi is expected to arrive. The removed graphic depicted a sniper rifle scope with crosshairs locked on PM Modi’s face, accompanied by the text: “Target - Enemy of America. Face of India’s Hindu Terror.”

Khalistan Separatists from Canada and the U.S. came to President Biden's neighborhood in Wilmington, Delaware, to protest Indian PM Modi, calling him "the face of Hindu terror." I happened to come across Sikhs for Justice's "Dr." Bakhshish Sandhu, a naturalized American citizen who regularly travels to Canada to protest against India. I asked him if he is a real medical doctor, given that he graduated from CETEC, a university in the Dominican Republic that was shut down after operating for four years for selling thousands of fake diplomas. "Mocha, go back!" he responded. Shameful. Did I tell you to go back when you were hosting your "referendum" in my city, Calgary?
