Last week, Calgary Police arrested two individuals at Gurdwara Dashmesh, a Sikh place of worship in Calgary, following a confrontation with an alleged 'extortionist' who pulled his gun after being chased by a crowd.
Given that the accused was arrested alongside an international student, and the victim operates an immigration firm known for offering LMIA services—which are considered highly dubious—questions arise about the real reasons behind the confrontation.
'Firearms and Gurdwaras; this is not an uncommon incident,' said Bob Rai, a former attendee of Gurdwara Dashmesh, who harshly criticized it as a haven for 'violent, extremist, terrorist-supporting ideologues—full of criminals, drug smugglers, extortionists, and bloodsuckers.'
There were no official police statements on the arrests or charges, and there was barely any mainstream media coverage of this story that took place in Calgary. 'There is a lot of Sikh violence that doesn’t get mentioned,' argued Dr. Paul Bullen, who holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Chicago.
'My view is that hate speech laws—and the Canadian sensibility that gives rise to them—play a role in why there is silence. There is also a general protectiveness towards immigrants and minorities, particularly Sikhs, who are numerous and tend to cause trouble if criticized. They can be intimidating.'
Following the incident, a local news editor was assaulted by Khalistani elements who didn't like his reporting of the story. As of yet, Calgary Police have not charged the accused with extortion, and while their investigation continues, Media Bezirgan investigated the 'victim' and his immigration empire, which is flooding Canada with foreign cooks, truck drivers, and farmers from Punjab, India.
