VANCOUVER, B.C., Can.: Bhai Lakhmir Singh, convener of International Sikh Youth Federation, is reportedly facing deportation as his application for permanent residency in Canada is not likely to be approved. The Canadian government had asked all aliens living illegally in Canada to file their applications for permanent status within a certain period. Bhai Sahib’s application, it is learnt, has not been given the consideration it deserves. Sikh circles in North America feel that Bhai Sahib’s deportation will not only expose him to political victimization by the Indian government but also create avoidable ill will among the Sikhs for the Canadian authorities. World Sikh News was informed that efforts are afoot to mobilize all Sikh organizations to plead for Bhai Sahib’s case.
