Fact Check: Khalistani separatist movement not ‘a threat to Canada’ per CSIS — lawful activity

Is the Khalistani movement as a whole characterized as a threat to Canada by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), as a social media post claims? No, that’s not true: CSIS does not consider the Khalistani movement as a whole a threat to Canada. The government’s website states that only a small group of individuals are considered "Canada-based Khalistani extremists", and that "non-violent advocacy for an independent state of Khalistan is not considered extremism." Advocacy for Khalistan separatism is lawful political activity in Canada, per the Canadian government’s website.
