Khalistani sympathizers, led by fugitive gangster Amritbir Singh Cheema, have gathered in Vancouver, Canada, to demonstrate their support. Cheema, a wanted individual in Punjab, has sought asylum in Canada since 2015. The group employs a radio station, Radio Punjab Vancouver, for a daily two-hour program aimed at radicalizing people, mainly receiving calls from California rather than local Canadians. Despite local Sikh complaints, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) reportedly refuses to intervene, regarding it as an internal matter. The Indo-Canadian community expresses concern about Canada's enabling of Khalistani extremists, urging against political appeasement amid tensions between Canada and India.
