Chandigarh, July 25
Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has welcomed Canada’s decision not to recognise the results of the Referendum 2020 being organised by pro-Khalistan group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).
The CM hoped other countries would also follow Canada’s example and reject the secessionist agenda of the SFJ, which was promoting it to divide India on communal lines.
He was reacting to a media report quoting a spokesperson of the foreign ministry of Canada, who said “Canada respects the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of India, and the Government of Canada will not recognise the referendum.”
The CM said the stand taken by the Justin Trudeau government on the issue was exemplary and other nations and governments should also come out openly against the SFJ. — TNS
