In a recent disturbing incident where radio journalist Rishi Nagar was violently attacked by two individuals in Calgary, authorities have now identified the assailants. Both of them being Khalistani extremists, this raises significant concerns about the rising influence of extremist factions within Canada.
One of the attackers has been named Jaswinder Singh Grewal, a known Khalistani extremist. Grewal recently participated in a controversial event organized by SFJ at Calgary City Hall, where he publicly glorified Talwinder Parmar, the mastermind behind the Air India bombing in 1985. This association underscores the extremist ideology that Grewal and his associates propagate under the guise of political activism.
The second assailant has been identified as 27-year-old Dilpreet Singh, who has also been charged with assault. Singh arrived in Canada on a student visa in 2019 and is believed to hold an Indian passport. His involvement in the attack highlights the troubling trend of foreign-born individuals engaging in extremist activities to further their agendas within Canadian borders.
Authorities must scrutinize the activities of Khalistani groups in Canada, as these extremists exploit the Khalistan banner and the principles of freedom of expression to mask their violent and illegal actions. These individuals are not activists; they are extremists using political rhetoric to justify their criminal behavior. Their actions threaten the safety and harmony of Canada.

It can be argued that the current administration often overlooks the activities of such extremist factions, especially when these groups secure political support and votes. This apparent tolerance allows extremists to operate with relative impunity, posing significant risks to public safety and social cohesion.
The assault on Rishi Nagar is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by extremist ideologies masquerading as legitimate political movements. As the investigation continues, community leaders and law enforcement agencies are calling for increased vigilance and stronger measures to curb the influence of extremist groups within Canada.
