Canada: Police reveal identity of Penticton murder victim, he was an Indo-Canadian

<p>A former Sikh militant apologised today for causing embarrassment to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his trip to India.</p>

<p>Jaspal Atwal, who was part of a movement that supported an independent Sikh nation in the 1980s and went to prison for the attempted murder of a visiting Indian minister in 1986, was invited to a dinner with Trudeau in New Delhi causing consternation among his hosts.</p>

<p>Trudeau&#39;s visit to India had already been dogged by suspicions that Canada was soft on Sikh separatists.</p>

<p>&quot;I am sorry for any embarrassment this matter has caused to Canada, India, my community and my family,&quot; the 62-year-old told a news conference.</p>

<p>&quot;I renounce any form of terrorism,&quot; he said. &quot;I do not advocate for an independent Sikh nation. I, like the vast majority of Sikhs who once advocated for this cause, have reconciled with the nation of India.&quot;</p>

<p>Since his parole, Atwal said he has engaged broadly in politics on behalf of the Indo-Canadian community, and visited India numerous times including three visits over the past year, each time &quot;with the full permission of the Indian government.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;There were also no restrictions placed on me by Canada so that I could not travel,&quot; he added.</p>

<p>Before his latest trip, Atwal said he reached out to his local member of Parliament, Randeep Sarai, to ask if he could attend a reception with Trudeau in India.</p>

<p>&quot;I had assumed there would be no problems. No one had at any point indicated there would be any issues,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>The controversy has continued to hound Trudeau since his return to Canada, with opposition parties and editorialists heaping scorn on the prime minister over the misstep.</p>

<p>Sarai, meanwhile, has been stripped of his responsibilities within the Liberal caucus.&nbsp;</p>
