Canada must deny entry to RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat
On August 5, more than 40 Canadian civil society and community organizations sent a letter calling on Minister Anandasangaree to bar RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat from entering Canada for his planned visit.
The RSS is a far-right, paramilitary organization that promotes Hindu nationalism. Its political arm, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is currently the ruling power in India.
Mohan Bhagwat is scheduled to visit Canada August 31 to September 1. But, according to Canada’s Immigration and Refuge Protection Act, he is inadmissible.
The submission laid out clear grounds for Bhagwat's inadmissibility to Canada. Email your MP and key Ministers today to urge them to take immediate action.
Thank you to Canadian Forum for Human Rights and Democracy in India (CFHRDI) for their leadership on the submission and this letter.
