Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the chances of India’s Lawrence Bishnoi gang being named 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.
