Canadian MP Slams Celebration Of Indira Gandhi’s Assassination

BRAMPTON, (IANS) – Canadian MP Chandra Arya has slammed Khalistan supporters for celebrating the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi with her cutout in a float.

“This is not what our country Canada stands for,” he said in a video message on June 8. “Tolerating glorification of violence and public promotion of hate goes against everything our country believes in. Khalistan supporters have crossed a line and Canada should and must respond,” he said.

Arya said that Khalistan supporters have reached a new low with a despicable float in a recent Brampton parade.

The float celebrated the assassination of Indira Gandhi with her cutout in white saree soaked in blood and cutouts of her bodyguard-turned-killers brandishing and pointing guns.

A day earlier, the High Commissioner for Canada in India, Cameron MacKay, said that he was appalled by reports of an event that celebrated the assassination of Indira Gandhi.

“There is no place in Canada for hate or for the glorification of violence. I categorically condemn these activities,” he said in a tweet.
