Transcript from the CBC website:
It seems unlikely in these times ... Canadian politicians coming to the defence of a convicted Sikh terrorist. But that's just what's happening in the case of Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar.
He was convicted in a 1993 bombing that killed 9 people in New Delhi. He's been sentenced to death.
Now, because his wife is Canadian, his cause has been taken up by several politicians here. Natural Resources minister Herb Dhaliwal sent a letter to the Indian president condemning the sentence. Secretary of State for Asia Pacific David Kilgour sent an assistant to India to meet with officials. NDP M-P Svend Robinson has also raised the Bhullar case during question period.
Gurpreet Singh has been following the story of Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar. He hosts a radio show with Radio India in Vancouver ... and has talked to members of the city's Indo-Canadian community about Mr. Bhullar. He was in Vancouver this morning.
