Sikh groups ask Carney to withdraw Indian PM Modi’s invitation to G7 summit
- Members of Surrey's Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara wrote to Prime Minister Mark Carney asking him to withdraw Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's invitation to the June 15–17 G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta.
- Their request follows allegations that Modi's government was involved in the 2023 murder of Bhai Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the gurdwara's president, raising concerns amid ongoing investigations and strained Canada-India relations.
- Canada expelled six Indian diplomats last October after the RCMP linked Indian officials to targeted threats and violence against Sikh Canadians, while India denied involvement and retaliated by expelling Canadian envoys.
- The Sikh community and NDP critics call the invitation irresponsible, stating it undermines Canadian sovereignty and potentially signals tolerance for foreign interference and state-sponsored violence.
- Despite these concerns, Carney confirmed Modi's invitation, emphasizing ongoing dialogue on bilateral ties and security, while avoiding direct comments on Modi's possible role in Nijjar's killing.
