Summary
Should separatist groups operating in Canada be publicly glorifying child suicide bombings? The Kalistani separatist movement Seeks for Justice did just that when promoting a referendum question in Alberta. What's weird is that this narrative seems to only be coming up in separatist circles, and there's no evidence to back it up.

Should activist groups operating in Canada be publicly glorifying child suicide bombings?
00:00:07.740
The Kalistani separatist movement Seeks for Justice did just that when promoting a referendum
00:00:13.860
question in Alberta. General Counsel for Seeks for Justice here, Gurpatwan Singh Panan, said the
00:00:22.020
group intends to ask the UN for the right for Sikhs in Punjab to take up armed resistance
00:00:27.480
against the Indian government due to the alleged assassination of Calistani separatists in Canada
00:00:33.700
and in the U.S. at the hands of the Indian state. For those who don't know, Juno News has covered
00:00:38.940
the Calistani movement a few times now, and they are essentially just a separatist group. They want
0.99
00:00:45.280
to carve out a portion of Punjab, and in some maps, even more than that, more provinces out of
00:00:51.560
what is now India. What's interesting though is at the bottom of this tweet here by Seeks for
00:00:57.920
Justice, it says the question is dedicated to an eight-year-old girl and a six-year-old girl
00:01:03.480
who tied grenades to their bodies to blow up Indian tanks during the 1984 attack on Darbar
00:01:10.320
Sahib. What's weird is that this narrative seems to only be coming up in Kalistani activist circles
00:01:17.600
and the child suicide bombings doesn't seem to be an incident corroborated by any other source.
00:01:24.880
The real question is, however, why is a group operating in Canada and the U.S. as a foreign
00:01:30.260
separatist movement glorifying child soldier suicide bombers regardless of if the incident
00:01:36.680
has happened or not? If you want to read more, learn more about the story, read more about it
