  "textContent": "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.\n\nThe post Fact Check: Khalistani separatist movement not ‘a threat to Canada’ per CSIS — lawful activity first appeared on VérifRadar.",
