Pannu declared Indian Consulate shutdown in Canada 

Amid the intense diplomatic tension between India and Canada concerning Khalistani seperatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing, Gurpatwant Pannu, a member of the separatist organisation Sikh for Justice (SFJ), called for the closure of Indian consulates in Vancouver, Ottawa and Toronto.

In a video message, he affirmed that the SFJ will protest the alleged involvement of the Indian government in the killing of Nijjar on June 18, outside a Sikh cultural centre in Surrey, British Columbia.

The sudden announcement of protest against the Indian government was called after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of the killing of wanted Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
