OTTAWA—NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says Canada should declare that anti-Sikh violence that took place in India more than three decades ago was a genocide.
Singh—who spent much of this week defending himself following the emergence of several videos showing him appearing at various events where others promoted Sikh independence and violence—says there is clear evidence attacks on Sikhs by Hindus which followed the assassination of prime minister Indira Gandhi in 1984 were not spontaneous, but rather organized by government.
