Jagmeet Singh, the pro-Khalistan leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party (NDP), broke down in tears on stage as he announced his resignation following a humiliating defeat in the federal elections.
Not only did he lose his own seat, Burnaby Central, but his party also failed to secure the 12-seat minimum to retain national party status in Parliament. Singh came third in his constituency, and the NDP crashed from 24 seats to just seven.
Fighting tears, Singh said, “It’s been the honour of my life to lead the NDP… I am disappointed that we could not win more seats.” He will remain interim leader until a successor is chosen.
During his tenure, Singh openly supported Khalistani separatists, demanded a ban on India’s Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and pressured former PM Justin Trudeau to expel Indian diplomats after the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He had even urged Canada to sanction Indian officials, the moves widely condemned in India.
His fall was met with cheers on social media.
One user on X wrote, “That absolute donkey Jagmeet Singh lost his own seat (came 3rd hahah not even the runner up), and—led his party from 18% vote share to 6%, lost national party status, now resigns in disgrace… He has done major harm to India. Good riddance!”
Another said, “Khalistani Jagmeet Singh lost from Burnaby Central seat. His party is no longer a national party. Big blow to Pakistan.”
Another shared a meme saying, “Jagmeet Singh after single-handedly bringing down NDP to single digits and coming 3rd in his own riding.”
One user said, “BIG BREAKING: Khalistani Jagmeet Singh defeated. MASSIVE victory for India!! HUGE SETBACK for Justin Trudeau’s politics.”
While another said, “Khalistani Jagmeet Singh defeated, takes down his party with him. NDP loses national status. He’s blamed for fueling terrorism in Punjab and Haryana via proxies.”
The fall of Jagmeet Singh marks a turning point in Canada’s domestic politics—and a setback for Khalistani influence in Ottawa.
