Demonstrators across the nation held signs and chanted against the bill, which they believe violates Canadian civil liberties and online privacy rights.
Protester Holley Kofluk told CBC News that the legislation “lacked specificity…it’s just so much ambiguity, it leaves people open [and] vulnerable.”
Thousands of demonstrators have united across Canada to take action against proposed anti-terrorism legislation known as Bill C-51, which would expand the powers of police and the nation’s spy agency, especially when it comes to detaining terror suspects.
Organizers of the ‘Day of Action’ said that “over 70 communities” across Canada were planning to participate on Saturday, according to StopC51.ca.
Congress Qs political espionage,
Shri Modi this kind of political espionage,snooping may be Gujarat model but not India model
Congress on Saturday demanded an explanation from both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on the alleged intrusion by Delhi Police into Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s personal life.
“This kind of political espionage, snooping, surveillance and intrusion in political opponent’s life may be Gujarat model but not Indian model,” said Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi.
“A few days ago, an ASI from Delhi Police headquarter was found snooping, making unnecessary and weird remarks at Rahul Gandhi residence. When stopped by SPG, it was found he was trying to fill up a form with weird questions about Rahul Gandhi’s height, colour of eyes, hair,” added Singhvi.
The Congress leader said, “India is a proud democracy, not a police state. We are a vibrant democracy. This kind of political espionage is condemn able.”
He added that Congress will take up the issue in parliament.
