“They came very close to bodily harm us”: Recalled Indian envoy to Canada on attack by Khalistanis

Recalled Indian High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Verma shared a terrifying moment when Khalistanis attacked him with a sword in Alberta while he was walking along with his wife.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, Verma said that the Khalistani ‘goons’ came very close to bodily harm him, adding that they were not carrying the ‘kirpan’, a religious object, but a sword that could potentially harm him.

“Yes, a couple of times they came very close to bodily harm us…They were carrying a sword, it was not a Kirpan…When I was in Alberta a sword came around 2-2.5 inches close to my body…,” said Verma.

Verma said the Khalistanis surrounded the exit gate and attacked him. “I was in a city in Alberta. And there the Indians had a dinner party which also had cultural programs, where it was expected that I would meet the Indians. And that was a business event. So many businessmen from Canada were there. And the main thing was how we could advance the business relationship, what new things we could bring, what new sectors we could bring. This was in a convention hall. Outside, around 150 people were there who were doing bad things in the name of Khalistan. And they surrounded the entrance from which I had to go. When I entered, there were RCMP and local police. Alberta is our good friend. Local police were present there. But maybe they didn’t think that they would do such a bad thing. My wife was accompanying me. When I was passing, there was a sword. And it was not a kirpan. They may not know the difference between sword and a kirpan. But we Indians who have seen Sikhism, who are so patriotic, where we have seen them, by the grace of Wahe Guru, we know the difference between a sword and a kirpan. So this was a sword, which came about 2 to 2.5 inches away from my body,” he said.

Verma said that the local police held an interrogation later, and he was not given the details about the same. (ANI)
