Sikh Groups Say Ottawa Should Not Invite India’s Modi to G7 Summit
- Sikh organizations are urging the Canadian government to exclude India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi from attending next month's G7 meeting in Kananaskis, Alberta.

- The Sikh groups’ opposition suggests Ottawa faces balancing economic interests with human rights concerns amid the upcoming summit.
