After posters targeting Indian diplomats in Canada, a new poster has surfaced on social media, naming both India's High Commissioner to Australia and Consul-General of India in Melbourne as "killers" of a wanted Khalistani terrorist who was shot dead last month in Canada.

The poster, released by banned Khalistani terror outfit Sikhs For Justice, features photos of Indian High Commissioner to Australia Manpreet Vohra and Consul General of India in Melbourne Sushil Kumar, falsely accusing them of being responsible for the killing of Khalistan Tiger Force chief Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a wanted terrorist in India.

This development has further intensified tensions surrounding the Khalistani movement.


A rally has been organised for 8 July at the Indian Embassy in Melbourne, as stated in a poster.

According to the poster, the rally will start from Bridges Reserve, Coburg and end at Indian Embassy in Melbourne.

Earlier, a similar poster featuring photos of Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma and Consul General of India in Toronto Apoorva Srivastava was being circulated on social media.

Meanwhile, India has urged partner countries such as Canada, the UK, the US and Australia to refrain from accommodating the "extremist Khalistani ideology," as it is detrimental to bilateral relations.


He also mentioned that the issue of Khalistani posters in Canada, which targeted Indian diplomats, will be raised with the Canadian government.
