A protest turned violent yesterday in Edmonton, Alberta, as Khalistan supporters wielding weapons gathered to voice their grievances against India’s high commissioner to Canada. The alarming display of aggression and extremism underscores the escalating tensions surrounding the Khalistan movement.
Armed with daggers, swords, and spears, protesters converged on the streets of Edmonton, unleashing a barrage of anti-India chants aimed at the Indian diplomat. The protest, which lasted several hours, descended into chaos as demonstrators attempted to charge towards the vehicle believed to be carrying the diplomat.

Edmonton Police were forced to physically intervene, pushing back the aggressive protesters and preventing them from reaching the vehicle. In the midst of the chaos, one protester resorted to physical violence against a journalist, seizing their camera and pushing them while falsely accusing them of racism. This blatant attempt to incite further hostility only serves to highlight the extremist Khalistan movement.
Despite police warnings, the protester denied any wrongdoing, further exacerbating the tense atmosphere. Shockingly, no major Western media outlets were present to document the unfolding events, as if turning a blind eye to Khalistan extremism and violence happening on Canadian soil, and leaving the international community unaware of the disturbing scenes playing out in Alberta’s capital city.
The violent turn of events in Edmonton serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by these extremists. While peaceful protest is a fundamental right in any democratic society, resorting to violence and intimidation threatens the domestic security and safety of the citizens.
