Narinder Singh Randhawa, an associate of the assassinated pro-Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, has been issued a 'duty to warn' notice by Canada===Surrey Police, indicating an imminent threat to his life. Randhawa believes the threat stems from his activism against the Indian government, which he accuses of being behind Nijjar's 2023 assassination. This incident revives concerns about foreign interference in Canada, a topic that previously strained diplomatic relations between Canada and India under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Current Prime Minister Mark Carney has been more reserved on the issue, but the ongoing threats against Khalistan activists, including Inderjeet Singh Gosal of Sikhs for Justice, suggest a persistent and serious problem of transnational repression.
