Canada’s Khalistan Terror, A Line Has Been Crossed

Press Release

Centre for Integrated and Holistic Studies (CIHS) condemns cold blooded murder of Nancy Grewal in LaSalle, Ontario on March 3, 2026 and urges Canadian federal authorities to treat this case with full weight of counter-terrorism laws.

She was targeted. She was a vocal critic of Khalistani extremism. A social media account affiliated with Khalistani extremist networks claimed responsibility and issued further threats. Whatever the final forensic verdict, her killing has been deployed as an instrument of intimidation and Canada’s silence is deafening.

We must be precise: Khalistani extremists are not Sikhs. They do not represent Punjab. Sikh faith is a great Bharatiya civilizational tradition and Punjab is a pluralist region. Collapsing both into separatist terrorism insults millions and provides cover for Khalistani terrorists and their backers, a transnational intimidation group built on threats, diaspora coercion and violent silencing of dissent.

This is not a foreign import. The 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182, Kanishka, killed 329 people. It was planned and executed on Canadian soil by Khalistani extremists operating out of British Columbia. It remains the deadliest terrorist attack ever carried out on Canadian soil. That atrocity produced no lasting reckoning and forty years later the institutional tolerance that enabled it persists.

Canada already lists Khalistani affiliates like Babbar Khalsa International and International Sikh Youth Federation as terrorist entities. Its own 2025 terrorist-financing assessment confirms these networks receive domestic financial support. Many organisations have flagged Pakistani intelligence using anti-India proxies and criminal syndicates on Canadian soil.

Yet successive governments from Pierre Trudeau’s bloc-vote immigration calculus to Justin Trudeau’s willful blindness, enabled by Jagmeet Singh’s equivocation, have treated this as a community-relations problem rather than a security emergency.

Grewal’s murder is not an isolated incident. It is a consequence of four decades of political cowardice. CIHS urges Parliament and RCMP to act decisively. Canada must choose to protect its citizens, not look away in inaction.
