Khalistan event in Canada hours after PM flags concern

A pro-Khalistani secessionist group in Canada conducted a referendum at a gurdwara in British Columbia, despite concerns from Indian PM Narendra Modi about anti-India elements promoting secessionism. The referendum was organised by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a group led by a designated terrorist, and is the latest in a series of provocative moves by pro-Khalistani groups in Canada. The Indian government did not officially respond to the referendum.
