This is the best summary I could come up with:
Federal public safety officials and politicians say Hindus from India are safe and welcome in Canada after a viral video from a pro-Khalistan group called for them to leave the country.
In the video, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, general counsel for the group and a lawyer based in New York, called for Indian Hindus to “go back to India,” accusing them of “working against the same country” that they economically benefit from.
India has previously labelled Pannun a terrorist, according to Indian media reports, and has banned the group in the country, accusing it of supporting violent extremism.
Nijjar, 45, was shot dead in his truck on June 18 in the parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, located in Surrey, B.C.
The Indian government had previously offered a reward for Nijjar’s arrest, accusing the gurdwara president of heading a violent separatist movement for Khalistan.
In his own statement on X, Poilievre noted Hindus have been the target of hateful comments in "recent days," adding every Canadian deserves to live without fear and feel welcomed in their community.
