The CM said Canada was the second home to millions of Punjabis settled there. The ties with Canada must remain cordial. It was, however, unfortunate that the politics of divisiveness and hatred had spread its tentacles in Canada, the CM said.
Such an act of hatred and violence was highly condemnable. Punjabis were votary of peace due to which they were loved across the globe. However, such actions brought bad name to Punjab and Punjabis, he said.
The Canadian government must ensure exemplary action against the perpetrators of this heinous crime so that it acted as a deterrent for others in future, he said.
