The New Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada, which is in a formal understanding with the ruling Liberal Party, will seek “official recognition” of the ‘1984 Sikh genocide’ in the country’s parliament. The issue was addressed by Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, while speaking at the Vaisakhi parade in Surrey, British Columbia, on Saturday. He said, “40th anniversary of Sikh genocide falls in this year. On this occasion, Sikh genocide should be recognised at the Federal level.”
