Canadian investigative journalist Mocha Bezirgan on Sunday said that he was physically assaulted by Khalistanis in Vancouver, where he was “surrounded and threatened”.
Speaking to ANI, Bezirgan said, “It just happened 2 hours ago and I am still shaking. I was surrounded by multiple Khalistanis who acted like thugs. They surrounded me, threatened me, and got physical with me, and they grabbed my phone out of my hand.”
“This was done by an individual who has been harassing me for a long time online using dehumanising language against me. I have been covering Khalistan protests in Canada, UK, US, New Zealand,” Bezirgan added.
“My only goal is to do independent journalism and record and report what’s going on and because I’m editorially independent, this frustrates some people. They want to influence me, they want to buy me. He is not even a Canadian citizen. He is from the UK. I was just there reporting on the event. Khalistanis gathered to honour their so-called martyrs, including the assassins of Indira Gandhi,” ANI quoted him as saying.
