India’s recent visa suspension for Canadians, sparked by tensions following allegations by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding Indian involvement in a separatist’s killing, is causing concern among the large Punjabi community in Canada. Punjabi Canadians, who often travel to India for family events, now face potential financial, emotional, and social challenges due to this decision.
Leaders like Majithia and Amrinder Singh Raja Warring are urging the Indian government to reconsider, emphasizing the unfairness of collective suffering for the actions of a few. They also highlight the importance of maintaining family ties for the Indian diaspora during festivals and special occasions, urging swift resolution by the Indian government.
