A man accused in a media report of training Sikh terrorists at a training camp in British Columbia has written to the prime minister asking for help to clear his name. "Prime Minister Trudeau, my Sikh nationalist activities are peaceful, democratic and protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms," the letter said. A spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office declined comment on the letter, saying the office had not yet had time to review it. The Times of India reports that Indian intelligence agencies have alerted the Liberal government that pro-Khalistan extremists near Mission, B.C., plan to carry out strikes in Punjab. Hardeep Nijjar, of Surrey, confirmed to The Canadian Press that he sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which asks the federal government to dispel "fabricated, baseless, fictitious and politically motivated" allegations against him.
