Canada Rejects Asylum Claim of Pardeep Singh, Citing 'Khalistan Card' Tactic
Pardeep, an Indian man, tried to get asylum in Canada by claiming he was being persecuted because he supported Khalistan.
However, the Canadian government said no because he had tried to get asylum elsewhere before and they weren't convinced that his claims were real.
He was also seen as being insincere, given his use of social media and his participation in protests.
The court didn't believe his story.
Now, he's being sent back to India, because his claim was denied and that using this tactic has become common among individuals seeking refuge in Canada.
Pardeep Singh's asylum claim in Canada was rejected by the Federal Court in Toronto.
The court cited Singh's prior asylum attempt and 'Khalistan card' as the main reasons for the rejection.
Singh entered Canada in 2023 on a spousal work permit and then filed a refugee claim.
The court relied on social media evidence and his support for the Khalistan movement.
Singh's case highlights a pattern of asylum abuse through the use of the 'Khalistan card.'
