Singh bling Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 Is he Khalistani supporter?Sajjan said he isn’t a member of the WSO and doesn’t want to be identified with a separatist movement in a foreign country.“I don’t support the breakup of any country,” said Sajjan, who arrived in Canada at age five. “I’m a Canadian. I want to focus on Canadian issues.”http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Sikh+Vancouver+South+Liberal+candidate+says+goal+serve+Canada+updated/10458151/story.html

jonas10 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 If you didnt know,Canadian Sikhs have the largest number of Khalistani supporters.Doesnt matter. Even if they do what makes you assume thats representative of all Sikhs in Canada? India has the largest number of Hindu fanatics. Is is right to assume every Hindu from India I meet is a Hindu Fanatic just because they happen to be a Hindu? Singh bling 1
