“If you state you’re an extremist, or a Khalistani, and we have seen this in America, are leaders with extremist ideas fit to be ministers? I have my doubts,” Bryden reports Sangha saying.
In a statement, Government whip Mark Holland said Sangha was removed from caucus after making what Holland said were “baseless and dangerous accusations” against a number of fellow Liberal MPs.
Holland didn’t say what the accusations were.
“Liberals have been clear that they won’t tolerate ‘conspiracy theories or dangerous and unfounded rhetoric about parliamentarians or other Canadians,’” he said.
Holland said it was not unusual for many Canadians to “experience suspicions because of their background” and that the Liberal caucus stands firm against racism and intolerance.
