Sikh extremists in Canada, the US, the UK and Australia prepare to hold large-scale “Freedom Rallies” Saturday, a complex web of politics lies underneath their growing influence.Posters about rallies also included death threats against Indian diplomats in various countries — a coordinated effort believed to be organised by Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, the head of a banned group, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), and recently rumoured to have died.

Interestingly, India summoned the Canadian High Commissioner over the posters but not the US ambassador over an arson attack on the Indian consulate in San Francisco by Sikh radicals. (The same consulate had been attacked in March by Sikh extremists.) On its part, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) argued that the US brought the incident under control “very promptly”. Also, while the UK Foreign Secretary condemned threats against Indian diplomats and the US State Department called the attack in San Francisco “vile” and “unacceptable”, the response from the Canadian government wasn’t well received in New Delhi.On Thursday, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said India is “wrong” to suggest he’s soft on Sikh extremism — a remark that was met with a sharp response from the MEA. Some observers found Trudeau’s remark equivalent to a “shrug”.
