On June 18th, Hardeep Singh Nijar, a prominent Sikh leader, was gunned down outside the Sikh temple where he is president.

His prominence was that he was calling for a referendum in India on Khalistan, in the aims of creating a Sikh controlled region in the Punjab region.

India accused him in 2016 of being behind a 2007 bombing in Punjab, except he's been in Canada since 1997. They took an Interpol notice on him, claiming that he ran terrorist training camps in Mission. (Vancouver resident here, the only religious terrorist camps in Mission are the Christian ones.)

It was in 1997 he claimed refugee status and used a fake passport to enter the country, the claim was rejected but he then married into citizenship.

His lawyer has stated that before his death, he was informed of threats against his life by CSIS.

With this logic Bin laden was a prominent Islamic leader who was gunned down inside his home. He was not there in the planes on 9/11 but was still accused and implicated of crime.

Nijar was the leader of two designated terrorist organisations involved in the killing of multiple people. They literally have Gangs in Canada of organized crimes. You make it sound like he was a Saint. A simple google search will give you videos where he is preaching of killing and violence.

No evidence nothing, just a statement and everybody is on their high horse claiming it was the Indian Govt.

I quoted from the national post, a reliable if hard conservative newspaper. They don't ever flinch at calling immigrants terrorists. Notice that they accused him of immigration fraud.

Put something that proves he's a terrorist. I dare you.

I don't think you want to believe it, a simple google search will give you ample evidence and try to check multiple sources before coming to conclusions.

Here are a few sources and a video of him training in a terrorist camp:
