Canada’s Court Keeps Bhagat Singh Brar and Parvkar Singh Dulai on No-Fly List

Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal of Bhagat Singh Brar and Parvkar Singh Dulai, who sought removal from a no-fly list they were placed on in 2018. The court found reasonable grounds to suspect that the two men intended to travel by air to commit terrorism offences.

The ruling supports the constitutionality of the Secure Air Travel Act, which allows the public safety minister to prohibit individuals from flying if they pose a security threat. Judge David Stratas emphasized the need to balance individual rights with national security concerns.

Brar and Dulai argued that their inclusion on the no-fly list infringed on their Charter rights, but the court found the legislation justified and the process fair. This decision comes shortly after Canada honored Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Parliament, highlighting ongoing concerns about Khalistan terrorism.

Parry Dullai, a close associate of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, runs “Channel Punjabi” and “Global TV.” Bhagat Singh Brar is the son of Lakhbir Singh Rode, a prominent Khalistani separatist, and serves as the General Secretary of the Ontario Gurudwara Committee.
