Canadian media slammed for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu interview: 'I want to fight for my family'

Indian-origin Jaskirat Singh Sidhu was the man behind the 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash that killed 16 players and staff of the Saskatchewan junior hockey team and injured 13 others. He could soon be deported back to India as he exhausted all his legal options to remain in Canada. In an exclusive interview with the CBC, Sidhu said he wants to fight for his family as he would be sent back to India, but not his wife and kids.

Sidhu married Tanvir Mann, a nurse in Canada, months before the 2018 accident. Now they are parents to a three-year-old son and a three-month-old daughter. The son was born with a rare lung disorder and according to the CBC report, doctors told the couple that living in India's air quality would put him at risk. "Nobody wants to be separated from their family, you know?" Sidhu said.
