The effigies of the bodyguards were depicted with weapons, and Indira Gandhi's effigy had bullet holes. Gandhi, India's first female prime minister, was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards after she ordered a military operation against militants using the Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest shrine, as a base.
Today, the Khalistani lobby in Canada, through MPs connected to the World Sikh Organization, demands that the deadly riots following Gandhi's assassination be recognized as a ''genocide.'' Signs reading "KILL MODI politics" were spotted, and a picture of Talwinder Singh Parmar, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Air India bombings, was being glorified as a "Canadian Singh who attained martyrdom fighting Indian terror forces."
Indian flags, India's constitution, and a Russian flag were desecrated and burned.
