“Amidst the ongoing (2024) farmer protests in India, farmers disrespected the Indian flag by tying it to a ball and playing football”
What FACTLY found
In June 2023, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist, was killed in Surrey City, situated in the British Columbia province of Canada. In reaction to this, Khalistani supporters protested outside the Indian consulate, alleging the involvement of Indian envoys in his murder, while also showing disrespect to the Indian flag. The viral videos shows this protest from Canada and has nothing to do with the protesting farmers in India
