Ujjal Dosanjh, Liberal MP
We have here a report on Sikh extremism in Canada which has startling similarities with the situation of Islamist extremism in the UK. Ujjal Dosanjh, a former Canadian Liberal Party cabinet minister says Sikh extremism is on the rise in British Columbia, Canada. He goes on to say that a distorted multiculturalism has allowed Sikh extremism to take root “in the name of diversity”. Furthermore, he says that the militancy is worse now than a generation ago when Sikh extremists blew up an Air India flight, killing 329 mostly Canadian people.
Mr Dosanjh says separatist extremism is more entrenced in some Canadian Sikh communities than in Punjab, where the Khalistan movement – named after creation of a separate Sikh state – originated.
Of course, we are living through the same phenomena here in the UK, except that here the counterpart radical extremist groups, feted and supported by liberal forces in exactly the same way that Dosanjh describes happening in Canada, are Islamist .
