Daily Life In Toronto, Canada
A truck displays the image of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Other graphic images commemorate the 1984 storming of the Golden Temple by the Indian army and pay homage to the thousands of Sikhs killed in a revenge attack instigated by members of the ruling Congress party, sparked by the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. During 'Operation Blue Star', the Indian Army storms the Golden Temple to flush out militants hiding there and to arrest Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his militant followers who initiate a movement for a separate Sikh state named 'Khalistan'. A large number of radical Sikh supporters are in the Sikh community in Canada, known for its fundraising activities to benefit Sikh militant groups in India and to continue the struggle for a separate Sikh state. Many Khalistan supporters and other Canadian Sikhs attend this Nagar Kirtan to celebrate Vaisakhi. Nagar Kirtan is a Sikh custom involving the processional singing of holy hymns throughout the community. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto) -

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "London’s Sikh and Punjabi communities make an invaluable contribution to life in the capital, and I’m thrilled to welcome back Vaisakhi on the Square. Londoners and visitors can look forward to an afternoon of free, family friendly entertainment and traditional Sikh and Punjabi culture. The festival is a wonderful example of how we celebrate the many communities that make our city a beacon of inclusivity, creating a more united and inclusive capital as we build a better London for everyone.”
