A significant bipartisan meeting held inside the Canadian Parliament has drawn attention to the growing concerns over Khalistani extremist networks and foreign influence operating within Canada. The discussion, attended by several Members of Parliament, centred on the threats posed by Khalistani elements and other radical groups that, according to participants, have been exploiting Canada’s open democratic framework.

The meeting was marked by the participation of 12 organisations representing diverse communities, including Indian, Iranian, Venezuelan, Cuban, Christian, and Jewish groups. Collectively, these organisations urged the Canadian government to adopt a firmer stance against groups promoting violence or separatism under the guise of political activism. A key demand emerging from the session was for Ottawa to officially designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation, aligning Canada’s policy with several other democratic nations that have already taken similar action.

Speakers at the event emphasised that foreign-backed extremist ideologies were undermining Canada’s internal harmony and its global reputation as a defender of human rights and rule of law. The discussion also touched upon how certain groups allegedly receive ideological or financial support from abroad, particularly from countries that seek to sow division within multicultural societies.

Participants reiterated that Canadian values must be rooted in respect for human rights, equality, and peaceful coexistence. They called upon lawmakers to ensure that Canada’s commitment to free speech and diversity is not misused by elements advocating violence or separatism.

The meeting’s bipartisan nature highlighted a growing recognition across party lines that foreign interference and extremist movements pose a serious national challenge. It concluded with a shared call for stronger legislative and security measures to counter hostile foreign influence and safeguard Canada’s democratic integrity.
