Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said Friday he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the chances of naming India’s Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a terrorist group after meeting with Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree.

Brown said he and representatives of Peel police met with the federal minister Wednesday after he asked police whether adding the Bishnoi gang to Ottawa’s list of terrorist organizations would help with enforcement.
