Canada's Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, has openly supported Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist who was murdered in June. This comes despite Nijjar being wanted in India for several terror-related cases. Tim Uppal, a Conservative MP, defended Nijjar in a statement made in the Canadian Parliament. The Conservative Party's willingness to pander to the Khalistani sentiment in Canada is evident, as Uppal used the respectful title "Bhai" before Nijjar's name. This may be a strategic move to gain support from the Sikh community, as Sikhs can influence votes in constituencies where margins are thin.
