Amid the ongoing diplomatic row between Canada and India, the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey is all ready to honour 4 Sikh Separatist terrorists. Sikh Separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, served as the leader. In a tweet on Thursday, journalist Daniel Bordman confirmed the development on X (formerly Twitter). He informed, ‘This is a the gurdwara that was run by Hardeep Singh Nijjar planning to celebrate the mastermind of the air India bombing, the worst terrorist attack in our history’.
He emphasised, ‘Justin Trudeau cannot ask me and the rest of the country to die on this hill with him. Do something about these terrorists. Canadian lives are at stake’. A poster was shared by Daniel Bordman, which was put out by the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey. According to the media reports, the gurdwara will honour and felicitate four Sikh Separatist on 20 October 2024. They include Talwinder Singh Parmar, Kulwinder Singh Happy, Nirmal Singh Mianvid and Kanwaljit Singh Sultanwind. The event is being publicly held in a Canadian city at a time when the Justin Trudeau government is accusing India of extra-territorial killings albeit without proof.
Kulwinder Singh Happy
The Sikh Separatist was born on 17th October 1967 in Jalandhar district of Punjab. At a young age, Kulwinder Singh Happy became a radical follower of slain terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. After the Indian army neutralised Bhindranwale, a Kulwinder joined Sikh Separatists in their covert terror activities. He received the support of the chief of the banned terror outfit ‘Khalistan Commando Force’ (KCF) Manbir Singh Chaheru.
Kulwinder helped other Sikh Separatist by providing them with ammunition from Pakistan. He also worked with another terror outfit ‘Babbar Khalsa’ under Talwinder Singh Babbar.
Kanwarjit Singh Sultanwind
This Sikh Separatist was born in Amritsar district of Punjab. Kanwarjit Singh Sultanwind was involved in burning down Hindu shops after the Indian army executed Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale in 1984. He was eventually put behind bars for carrying out arson and stealing firearms.
He was freed from jail when a group of 4 other Sikh Separatist laid siege to the police station in Amritsar. Thereafter, he worked as a full-time terrorist with the proscribed Khalistan Commando Force (KCF).
Nirmal Singh Mianvid
This Sikh Separatist was also born in Amritsar district of Punjab. A promising sportsperson, Nirmal Singh Mianvid was drawn towards the fantasy of Khalistan shortly after the execution of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Although he had a wife and 2 kids, Mianvid gave up on family life to focus on his full-time career of terrorism. He was an active member of the banned Sikh Separatist Commando Force.
Nirmal Singh Mianvid had close ties with terrorist Kanwarjit Singh Sultanwind and would refer to the latter as ‘Bhau Ji’ despite being elder to him. “Bhau Ji, I may be older than you, but you are wiser than me,” he would often say.
Talwinder Singh Parmar
On 23rd June 1985, the then-deadliest aviation-oriented terrorist attack occurred in the world. It would remain the deadliest of its kind until the 9/11 attacks in 2001. It was the bombing of Air India Flight 182 Kanishka by Sikh Separatist which led to the death of 329 people, that is, everyone aboard the flight. The plane was blown in midair off the coast of Ireland. Out of 329 casualties, 268 were Canadian citizens.
Pierre Trudeau is blamed for the Kanishka bombing, as it was only after the Trudeau-led government saved Talwinder Singh Parmar, started preparing for the bombing. In 1984, Parmar told his fellow Sikh Separatist that “Indian planes will fall from the sky”.
