  • The editor and publisher of the Punjabi Post, Jagdish Grewal, has said that he anticipates another attack on his life, days after he was held at gunpoint by three masked men outside the newspaper's offices in Brampton.

    According to a report in the Globe and Mail newspaper, Grewal was cornered late on Friday night, during an attack and attempted kidnapping that may have been sparked by the Sikh man's anti-extremist political views.

    Grewal was apparently saved by Deborah BaicGun from a Brampton parking lot.

    Punjabi Canadian editor fears for his life after attackBy: Juan Carlos d. Autopista | 29-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Freedom of the press is warranted by the Canadian law. The editors and journalists must be able to work without fear and intimidation. Different views can be discussed in forums and not at the point of guns. Any act of violence against an editor is an act against democracy and freedom and a show of cowardice.
