Canadian AG blocks Sikh group's attempt to prosecute PM Modi - Zee News

New York: A Canadian court has issued summons against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over lawsuit in connection with human rights violations during the 2002 Gujarat riots, but the order was blocked by Canadian Attorney General, a Sikh rights group said on Thursday.

The summons to Modi were issued after the rights group, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), filed a lawsuit in the Canadian court seeking prosecution of the Indian leader on charges of alleged torture and human rights violations during the 2002 riots in Gujarat, when he was Chief Minister of the State.

Representing SFJ, Toronto-based human rights lawyer Marlys Edwardh and her associate Louis Century called on Justice Minister and Attorney General Peter MacKay to charge Modi in the case but the summons were immediately blocked by MacKay.

The hearing was held in Ontario Court of Justice, coinciding with Modi's visit to the country.

SFJ said Canadian Criminal Code allows for the prosecution of public officials who commit acts of torture abroad if they are later present in Canada.

After a seven-hour hearing to determine whether there was sufficient evidence to issue process; the Justice of the Peace had decided that there was a prima facie case against Modi but the blocking of the summons ensured that the prosecution against him will not go ahead.

SFJ legal advsior Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said Modi "escaped trial" on charges of torture under Canadian law only because of the Attorney General's last-minute intervention.

Rights group American Justice Center President Joseph Whittington said that the summons issued by the Ontario Court of Justice, although blocked by the Attorney General, is a "recognition of the voluminous evidence available to initiate prosecution" of Modi.

"Had the summons been allowed to be served, we strongly believe the case would have ultimately served justice to those who have been denied justice since the pogroms of 2002," Whittington added.

These type of cases can only be filed if the person in question comes to ( lands on the soil of ) USA . And same is the case in Canada (though under different law). I would assume that SFJ would file the case against any of those (mentioned in post # 22 by Ranjeet01) if he come to these countries. These are not frivolous charges and, if proven in court, carry heavy punishment.

But chances of succeeding are not high because the governments do their utmost in opposing these charges - (especially) when it comes to the politicians from the parties in power in India for the reasons of trade and geopolitics.

However, when not in power these politicians and others would think twice visiting USA or Canada.

On what grounds has the Attorney general blocked the case? Im confused!! Someone help

He does not answer to us the people. He can block any case. Sad day in Canadian history. Money and international trade once again has been favored over human life. PM Harper should hang his head low in shame along with his cabinet.

So he can block any case without giving a reason? Wow what sort of a just system is that!

Obviously had the AG not intervened, there would have been a serious impact on the already frosty relationship between the two nations but thats not a justified reason to pervert justice. Surely it must be due to lack of evidence or some solid ground?

I had no idea the AG could do that. Tbh, I'd never heard of one of those prior to today...

On April 15, 2015 a Provincial hear was put in front of a Justice of the Peace in Ontario. The case was of torture against the PM of India, Narendra Modi.

At the end of the hearing the Ontario Court agreed with SFJ and declared there was enough evidence to start CRIMINAL proceedings against Modi and the process to issue (issue either summons or arrest warrants) was indicated.

At this point, before the summons or arrest warrants were issued, the Crown Attorney acting on behave of the Attorney General of Ontario withdraw the CRIMINAL case against Modi in Canada!!

This is the complaint and proof of the "process to issue" and the Ontario Crowns request to withdraw the case. And this is proof that in Canada, but Canadian Court standards Modi SHOULD BE CRIMINALLY tried!!!

    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
    • All of these are suppositions, bro. Linguists know that, generally, all the social classes of a physical area speak the same language, though some classes may use more advanced vocabulary. I'm talking about the syntax. That is, unless the King is an invader, which Porus was not. When you say Punjabi wasn't very evolved, what do you mean? The syntax must have been roughly the same. As for vocabulary, do you really think Punjabis at the time did nothing more than grunt to express their thoughts? That they had no shades of meaning? Such as hot/cold, red/yellow/blue, angry/sweet/loving/sad, etc? Why must we always have an inferiority complex?
    • I still think about that incident now and then, just haven't heard any developments regarding what happened, just like so many other things that have happened in Panjab!
    • There was a young Singh from abroad who went to Anandpur Sahib Hola and got into a fight with some Punjabis who were playing loud non-religious music. He had bana and a weapon or two. There were more of them than him.  He ended up losing his life. Don't be like that. Not worth it to fight manmukhs. @californiasardar1 ਮੂਰਖੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਲੁਝੀਐ ॥੧੯॥ Argue not with a fool. p473
