Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a name associated with Khalistan terrorism, has been a matter of concern for security agencies. Nijjar, an alleged Khalistan terrorist, was known to be involved in activities promoting the Khalistan movement, which aims to create an independent Sikh state in Punjab. Born in Jalandhar, Punjab, Nijjar moved to Canada and became a citizen. He was believed to have led a dormant Khalistani militant group in Canada and was recruiting and financing individuals for terrorist activities in India. India had sought his extradition from Canada, but Nijjar was never extradited. His activities and connections with extremist elements raised serious concerns about national security.
