Pro-Khalistan slogans were raised when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was addressing a gathering during a Khalsa parade in Toronto.
In his remarks on Sunday, Trudeau expressed staunch assurance to the Sikh community in the country, saying that the government is always there to protect their rights and freedom at all costs.
"We have to remember and get reminded on days such as this and every day, that Sikh values are Canadian values. Truth, justice, openness, compassion, service, human rights. These are the values at the heart of Sikhism. These are the values of the heart of Sikh Canadian communities. But they’re also values at the heart of all Canadians,” Trudeau said as Khalistan Zindabad slogans filled in air.
The rally was also attended by his rival Pierre Poilievre of the Conservative Party and Jagmeet Singh of the New Democratic Party (NDP) also attended the rally.
