Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre said the military had an ‘expansive list’ of people it was tasked to help

The Canadian Armed Forces was following “legal orders” when it tried to rescue a group of Afghan Sikhs during the fall of Kabul three years ago, Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre said.

In an interview with The Canadian Press, Eyre said the military was following “legal orders” when it made an effort to specifically help the group of Afghan Sikhs. Sajjan said that in the weeks leading up to the siege, Canada expanded a partnership with the Manmeet Singh Bhullar Foundation, an Alberta-based charity that was trying to help resettle hundreds of persecuted Afghan Sikhs and Hindus.

Sajjan said as the situation in Kabul worsened the organization “reached out to me personally” telling him it was unable to connect with the military directly.
