The spokesman for the B-C Gurdwaras Council says members of the Sikh community will likely be at all court hearings for the four men accused of assassinating Hardeep Singh Nijjar last June.
Moninder Singh with the council says he and others plan on showing up to the courthouse to support the activist’s family, and to show the Indian government that they won’t stay quiet in the face of violence.
Singh says it was an emotional experience for many who attended to catch a glimpse of the four suspects, who appeared in a Surrey courtroom Tuesday, one by video-link from Ontario.
He says Nijjar’s death and the arrests of the suspects have galvanized the community as they continue to advocate for a Sikh homeland of Khalistan separate from India.
