> advocating for basically secession and creation of a new country
Let's be really precise. What you just said is absolutely something that everyone in a free democracy should be free to do as much as they want to their heart's content.
The quirk here is that India and many Hindu nationals disagree that this is all he was doing, and they instead basically brand him as something closer to a terrorist responsible for murders.
Who is right I don't know. These are very difficult things to figure out even decades later, never mind at the current moment in time in history.
It is not in dispute that India has a complex and bloody history discriminating heavily against it's Sikh minority in Punjab. And it is not in dispute that the Khalistan movement is responsible for the murders of hundreds of civilians through bombings.
None of this should enable the Indian government to be able to murder a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil without repercussions.
But it's important to be precise that what you describe OUGHT to be legal, and what India accuses this man of doing OUGHT to not be.
I dunno if any of this matters.
