Sikh protests set to continue in Calgary as Indian PM Modi arrives for G7 summit

On June 17, 2025, Sikh activists and various groups protested peacefully at Calgary city hall during the G7 summit held in nearby Kananaskis.
The protests arose after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was invited by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney despite RCMP accusations of Modi's government involvement in crimes in Canada.
Protesters waved Khalistan flags and held posters condemning Modi, while police estimated about 500 attendees from 13 groups and described the protests as lawful and peaceful.
The RCMP accused Modi's government last fall of murder, coercion, and extortion, and activists urged the G7 to pressure India for accountability and to hold a Khalistan referendum.
The protests were livestreamed to the summit, underscoring ongoing tensions and potentially increasing international scrutiny of India during Modi's G7 participation.
