rewrite the article, without much abbreviation: Families of Hindus from Punjab on Canadian study visas and work permits are scared following US-based Sikh terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun’s threat to Hindus, asking them to leave Canada for not criticising the killing of Khalistan Tiger Force chief Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Punjabi Sikhs had started the trend of migration to Canada, but for the last six years, Hindu families and students have also joined the beeline at the IELTS centres and immigration offices. “Middle-class Hindus with easy loans and ready documents get there faster than Sikh families,” claimed an immigration agent from Bathinda.

Amit Mittal, whose son is a student in Surrey, said: “Already, we were tense since the diplomatic fallout, and now they have asked Hindus to leave Canada for not condemning Nijjar’s killing. The Canadian Government shouldn’t allow religious hatred, for the sake of its own image.”

Barnala’s Satish Bansal, whose daughter also studies in Surrey, said: “We have a big study loan to pay off and a dilemma to deal with.”

Bathinda’s Ramesh Chand, who sent his son to Brampton, said: “Scared after this threat, we hope that the Canadian government intervenes.” Akal Takht Jathedar asks Centre to ‘come clean’ on Trudeau statement:

Expressing concern over Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s statement that his government was probing ‘credible allegations’ that Indian agents were responsible for the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Akal Takht jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh on Wednesday asked the Indian government to clarify its stand.

“Trudeau’s statement has not only hurt the sentiments of the global Sikh community but has also reminded it of Operation Bluestar, 1984 genocide, and young deaths in Punjab. The Centre should come clean and ensure the safety and security of the Sikhs living abroad,” the jathedar said.
