[GEO.TV] Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...hereditary prime minister of the Great White North...has assured nearly a million Canadians of Sikh heritage that his government will always be there to protect their rights and freedom, as tens of thousands raised slogans in support of Khalistan before the former on the occasion of Khalsa Day on Sunday in Toronto. In the videos released by Sikh groups, chants of "Khalistan Zindabad" and tribute to "Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar" can be heard during the speech of PM Trudeau who looked on whilst a charged congregation of Sikhs raised slogans. Pro-Khalistan slogans were also raised in the presence of opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and prominent Canadian Sikh leader Jagmeet Singh, chief of the New Democratic Party. All of them spoke to the Sikh crowd. Trudeau told the crowd: "The story of the Sikh community in Canada is, in fact, the story of Canada...To the nearly 800 thousand Canadians of Sikh heritage across this country, we will always be there to protect your rights and your freedom, and we will always defend your community against hatred and discrimination." The Canadian PM also said the country is enhancing the security and infrastructure programmes by "adding more security at community centres and places of worship, including Gurdwaras." "Your right to practice your religion freely, and without intimidation is exactly that. A fundamental right guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that we will always stand up and defend you for," Trudeau assured the Sikh community in his Khalsa Day address in reference to the attacks Canadian Sikhs from the Indian govt.
