00:00 On the occasion of Khalsa Day, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed a gathering
00:10 of hundreds of Sikhs in Toronto.
00:13 However, the event took an unexpected turn when some individuals raised pro-Khalistani
00:20 slogans in front of the Prime Minister alongside his political rivals, Pierre Foilvard from
00:27 the Conservative Party and Jagmeet Singh from the New Democratic Party.
00:31 A video of the incident circulated on the internet capturing Trudeau's reaction as
00:36 he delivered his speech amidst the pro-Khalistani chants.
00:40 Trudeau emphasized the values of Sikhism as integral to Canadian identity, stating that
00:46 "Sikh values such as truth, justice, openness, compassion and service are also Canadian values."
00:54 Despite the pro-Khalistani chants, Trudeau was presented with a ceremonial sword by Sikh
01:00 leaders as a sign of respect following his speech.
01:04 "Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, Happy Vaisakhi, Joyeux Vaisakhi.
01:13 I want to thank the Ontario Sikhs in Gurdwara Council for organizing this extraordinary
01:18 event once again today.
01:21 It is always so amazing to be back at the Khalsa Day celebrations."
01:25 Conservative Party leader Pierre Foilvard addressed the crowd reforming support for
01:31 the Sikh community and pledging to protect their rights and freedoms against discrimination
01:36 and hatred.
01:37 He promised increased security measures at community centres and Gurdwaras across the
01:43 country.
01:44 "Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh"
01:48 Foilvard reiterated the fundamental right of religious freedom enshrined in the Canadian
01:53 Charter of Rights and Freedoms, promising to defend it for all Canadians, including
01:59 those of Sikh heritage.
02:01 However, despite these assurances, the incident of pro-Khalistani chants in front of Justin
02:07 Trudeau had stirred controversy, particularly in India, as the relations are not so great
02:13 between the two countries that too because of the Khalistani angle.
02:17 The Canadian Prime Minister faces criticism online.
