As Justin well knows:
Former prime minister Stephen Harper condemned Canadians who promote Sikh separatism and predicted close ties with a controversial Indian government if the Conservatives win back power, underscoring in a recent speech the role south-Asian politics could play in the run-up to October’s election.
Harper criticized those who “bring the battles of the past to Canada” and try to divide India, a rare attack by a Canadian politician on the movement for a separate Sikh homeland.
His comments, earning a standing ovation from a pro-India audience, raised questions about whether his party is moving closer to New Delhi on an issue that has long roiled the Indo-Canadian community.
