    I appreciate your breaking everything down, I suppose I’m having a delayed reaction to the story of the father in downtown Vancouver that was stabbed to death by one such “Khalistani” and I think thats one to many deaths on their account.

      Some googling suggests to me that you’re talking about the murder of Paul Schmidt by Inderdeep Gosal.

      I couldn’t find anything firmly linking him to Khalistani independence movements. But I did see this article suggesting there is a smear campaign against Sikhs/Khalistanis.

      Also my 5 minutes of research suggested that he came here as a young child. So I don’t think he came here for the purpose of agitating for an independent Khalistan from the safety of Canada.
