Canada denies entry to retired CRPF officer over ‘rights abuse, torture’
Tejinder Singh Dhillon, who retired as CRPF inspector general of police in 2010, was denied entry at Vancouver airport as he had served with the Force, which had “committed widespread and systemic human rights abuses’

Relations between India and Canada, marred by recent friction, could take another hit as a retired senior CRPF officer was denied entry at Vancouver airport last week, partly because immigration authorities deemed him to have served a government that engages in “terrorism, systematic or gross human rights violations, or genocide”.

Tejinder Singh Dhillon, who retired with the rank of inspector general of police from the Central Reserve Police Force in 2010, was declared inadmissible under a subsection of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

A document given to Dhillon at the airport stated he was a “prescribed senior official in the service of a government that, in the opinion of the Minister, engages or has engaged in terrorism, systematic or gross human rights violations, or genocide, a war crime or a crime against humanity”.






This startling condemnation of India was removed in a second report issued by immigration authorities at Vancouver airport. However, they still held he could not be granted entry as he had served with the CRPF, which had “committed widespread and systemic human rights abuses, for example torture, arbitrary detention, murder and sexual assault”.

In a telephone conversation from Ludhiana, where Dhillon returned after being denied entry, the former officer said he had been travelling to Canada for more than 30 years and had visited several times as a serving officer of the CRPF. He said he had a Canadian visa issued in India that was valid till 2024.

Given the grave implications this action could have for bilateral relations, the Hindustan Times sought comment from Global Affairs Canada, which only responded: “Please contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.”

A reply from the immigration department is yet to be received, nor has one been forthcoming from the Canadian Border Services Agency.

A senior Indian official said New Delhi will raise this matter with the Justin Trudeau government in Ottawa.

As he emplaned in Frankfurt for Vancouver after spending some time in Europe with his wife and daughter, the 67-year-old Dhillon never expected such a reception in Canada, a country he had visited frequently, including for joint programmes with his counterparts.

“It is very upsetting. I have seen many crises, but this is very difficult to bear,” Dhillon said.

The ordeal began after he and his wife landed and were pulled aside during the initial immigration check. Dhillon said the officers who interrogated him behaved in an “unreasonable and indecent manner”, accusing him of having either participated or having knowledge of human rights violations by the CRPF.

Dhillon, a distinguished officer who retired as director of the Central Reserve Police Academy in Kadarpur, Gurgaon, and also served as director of the Internal Security Academy in Mount Abu, said: “There has not been a single incident of misconduct during my career.”

He arrived in Canada for a visit that was to start with spending a couple of days with friends in Vancouver, before going to his daughter’s home in Seattle in the United States and then travelling back to Toronto for the main objective of the trip – to attend his niece’s wedding in the suburb of Brampton.

But his questioning in Vancouver on May 18 lasted nearly seven hours and only ceased on the intervention of one of his friends, who had been waiting outside the airport to pick up the Dhillons.

That friend, Shinder Purewal, a former Liberal Party politician and professor of political science at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, British Columbia, was aghast at the treatment meted out to Dhillon.

He said, “This is really uncalled for, accusing a person without a shred of evidence. This is something serious for the government of Canada to think about. Has the government decided India is a sponsor of terrorism? That India commits genocide?”

Purewal managed to get the Dhillons a 12-hour respite from the immigration interrogation, during which they were allowed to go to his residence. But that process commenced again the next morning, ending with Dhillon’s visa being cancelled and his being deported back to India. His wife decided to return to India with him.

Dhillon said he did not want to relive his nightmare of travelling to Canada: “This is injustice, a very great humiliation. I’m very perturbed by this.”

While Indian armed forces officers and Punjab Police personnel have been denied visas by Canada in the past on the grounds of rights violations, this episode has taken that attitude to another level, as it brands India a serial abuser of human rights.

Canada is not a small child to be brainwashed by a minority immigrant population. They are the ones who have cultivated the Khalistanis to use as a weapon against India.

Last week, there was a rally in Canada where they openly said that they will behead Punjab CM Amrinder.

their immigration minister is ahmed hussen a somalian, too many islamists and khalistanis working for canada government.
The current Canadian govt is as commie as it gets....

The statement given is against Indian govt, not an individual officer.



It's not a slipup, rather a Canadian govt policy.

Let's see what sushmaji does.

That only means they have somehow succeeded in brainwashing their govt against India.
No one brainwashed Canada. Canada brainwashed the Sikhs.

The Sikhs were a peaceful and pro-Indian force in the west (read about the Ghadar party) who helped India during the freedom struggle in all ways possible, covert, overt, diplomacy, weapons. It is only during the Cold War that the west co-opted them and brainwashed them to be used against India, who was a Soviet ally.

If USSR is idol of communism, then Canada and Scandinavian are of "Liberalism" , u can find any random guy ," look at canada ,immigrant is immigrant minister , former colonel is DM " bla. bla. bla It's not only problem with sikh , i just forget her name , she is from pundit community , but still support jihadist of Kashmir .If there are considerable amount of other Indian population from different ethnic group like US , then u can find small separatist group of them too.
Paki musalman are very strong in Canada , and they are the huge force behind "hindu ko mila hindustan , musalman ko pakistan ..to sikho ko milega kahlistan" .the so call "south-asian" community groups in Canada are all infected by pro-paki ideology (which propagate through pro-peace ideology ).
Thanks to pro-communist education in India hindu-indian are very tough to gather around hindu identity , so they are vulnerable to pro-separatist group who are supported by unified south-asian musalman group which include paki-indian and bangladeshi .

Yeah, it was really strange. Nothing productive happened during Canadian Def Min's visit to India. He took potshots and left. Was Modi not briefed by the intel agencies about it?

MEA again resorted to Kadi Ninda. Even Germany had imposed an embargo on us and stopped selling MP5 guns to us due to 'human rights violations in Naxal area'. India didn't respond even then. Business as usual. We seem to be a very shameless and thick skinned race. USA also humiliated Indian diplomat without fear of retribution but the retribution came and the US was shaken when we removed barricades outside US embassy in India and people said we must arrest gay partners of US diplomats as per Indian law. Suddenly Negro had to give a statement imploring India to not do such a thing.

The west, unfortunately for them, has set a template where they only respond favorably to India when we respond in a hostile manner. They don't respond well to good faith negotiations. The only stimulus they understand is an armtwist.

All the indian politicains are hot headed when they are in the opposition,when they see the ground reality their magma hot blood turns to coca cola cold....................

Our biggest problem is that we say a lot of things and deliver not even a fraction of it,One seriously needs to change india's in-activeness towards this.

As for the germans,ask them how beautiful it would have been if the soviets had launched a deadly offense from the east germany,what a beautiful sight.............................

We are just removing the remains of the commies...............If they dont want to sell guns with us fine,lets keep them away from our rest of the arms purchases......................

The best way to break Canada's back is for India to support the Khalistanis in Canada. Just rent out some white supremacist gangs to make a hit on some Khalistani gang, then the latter will respond and cause law and order problem and create a massive nuisance for the locals. Now the government will be under pressure because if they act against the Khalistanis, they risk starting an insurgency within Canada and losing their support at the same time, and if they don't respond, then domestic pressure will build up.
