Sikh Politician In Canada

Khalistanis may be trying to drive a wedge between Hindus and Sikhs in Canada and hoping that this division spills into India, Indian-origin Canadian politician Ujjal Dev Dosanjh has said.

At a fundraising event organised by Seva Food Bank, Jagmeet Singh and Navdeep Bains engaged in a dance-off. Watch the video.

Jagmeet Singh, an Ontario provincial lawmaker and practicing Sikh, was elected on Sunday as leader of Canada's left-leaning New Democrats, becoming the first non-white politician to head a major Canadian political party.

A Sikh lawmaker's measured response to being heckled by a belligerent woman in Canada has impressed many. Jagmeet Singh was subjected to an aggressive and racist rant by a woman at a campaign event in Brampton, Ontario on Wednesday and responded by saying: "We welcome you. We love you. We support you." A video of the exchange is viral.

Canada's latest political phenomenon is just 38. He's a dapper lawyer who wears bespoke three-piece suits, rides his bike to work and has been featured in GQ. He also sports a long beard and wears pastel-colored turbans and a kirpan, a ceremonial dagger, both integral elements of the Sikh religion.

A former Canadian cabinet minister and one-time provincial premier warned that Sikh extremism -- blamed for the 1985 Air India bombing - is rising in this country.
