Canadian province declares 1984 anti-Sikh riots as genocide
The Legislative Assembly of Canadian province Ontario on Thursday passed a motion describing the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in India as "genocide". However, the Indian government had reportedly communicated its concern over the motion to Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's Cabinet in advance. The anti-Sikh riots had broken out in 1984 after the assassination of the then PM Indira Gandhi.
