This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 64%. (I'm a bot)
> Singh - who spent much of this week defending himself following the emergence of several videos showing him appearing at various events where others promoted Sikh independence and violence - says there is clear evidence attacks on Sikhs by Hindus which followed the assassination of prime minister Indira Gandhi in 1984 were not spontaneous, but rather organized by government.
> That motion was described by Indian media as a "Body blow" to India and the Indian government called it "Misguided." Although the motion was passed in a provincial legislature, the Indian government did not distinguish between the levels of government when complaining to Canada about the motion and it was among the tensions that contributed to a troubled state visit to India by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month.
> The lack of justice for those deadly riots is the root of much of Sikh unease with the Indian government today, says Harvinder Khehra, a Calgary teacher who immigrated to Canada from Punjab in 2009.
> Khehra says the Indian government seems to be afraid of the political influence of Sikhs in Canada and is behind both the Trudeau trip problems and the Singh stories this week.
> The Canadian government also accused people within the Indian government of trying to undermine Trudeau's trip last month by facilitating the invitation to a reception of a man convicted in the 1980s of trying to kill an Indian cabinet minister on a trip to Canada.
> The reasoning was that some in the Indian government refuse to believe Canadian Sikhs aren't pushing for an independent state and want to undercut Sikh influence in Canadian politics.

It's really sad. He's busy tweeting about how BJP had done in its first 6 months.
This issue also needs to be raised in the parliament. If you don't acknowledge the problems in India, how can you solve them? And if any media channel paints a negative picture, they're labelled anti-national.
