Canada’s House of Commons has passed Bill C-9, the Combating Hate Act, which criminalizes public displays of flags or symbols linked to designated Khalistan terrorist organizations when used to promote hatred. The bill targets groups such as Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation—both banned in Canada and India. Passed with a 186–137 vote, the legislation now heads to the Senate, marking a major shift in Ottawa’s approach to extremist elements long embedded in the country’s ecosystem. The move follows renewed diplomatic engagement between India and Canada.
