A Sikh extremist invited to a dinner
reception with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in India this week was once
accused of attacking a former B.C. premier. Ujjal Dosanjh said the
Canadian government demonstrated a lack of concern by inviting the man –
convicted of attempted murder in another case.
Mr.
Dosanjh, also a onetime federal Liberal cabinet minister, says he was
taken aback when he found out that Jaspal Atwal was invited to a
Thursday night dinner reception with the Prime Minister after attending
another event with the Trudeau family earlier this week. Mr. Dosanjh
says Mr. Atwal attacked him with an iron bar in 1985 over his opposition
to Sikh extremism. The attack left him with 80 stitches and a broken
hand. Mr. Atwal was acquitted of the attack.
