Canadian Liberal MPs Clash Over Motion on 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots

Chandra Arya accuses Sukh Dhaliwal of threatening him after opposing a motion to label the riots as genocide in the House of Commons.

Liberal MP Chandra Arya claims he was threatened by fellow MP Sukh Dhaliwal after blocking a motion to declare the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in India as genocide.
Arya stated he was the only MP to oppose the motion during a unanimous consent request, preventing its approval in the House of Commons.
Dhaliwal, who introduced the motion, criticized Arya and some Conservative MPs for opposing it, calling the riots barbaric but avoiding the term genocide.
Arya, an advocate for the Hindu-Canadian community, warned of attempts by what he described as a 'Khalistani lobby' to reintroduce the motion in the future.
The incident highlights growing tensions between Sikh and Hindu communities in Canada, exacerbated by recent protests and Arya's outspoken stance against Sikh separatist movements.
