A number of Sikh youth, along with representative of various organizations arrived outside the Gurdwara to protest the arrival of Modi for his role in massacres of Muslims in Gujarat.  Modi Government is also responsible for carrying out attacks on various other minorities in India.

Jakara Movement, a Sikh Youth organization stated that Moninder Singh was arrested for exercising freedom of speech.  Canadian police also threatened to arrest others who were at the Gurdwara.  Moninder Singh was asked to leave by the police, however he refused and continued to protest peacefully when he was arrested.  Sangat members were denied entry to the Gurdwara by the police.

“We are being asked to leave the premises.  We are denying, we are rejecting the police telling us to move.  They are gearing up to push us out,” said a youth outside the Ross Street Gurdwara.
