Earlier this month, Singh was confronted by a group of protestors outside a campaign event in Peterborough, Ont.,

Social media posts show protestors shouting profanities and calling him a “liar” and a “traitor,” repeatedly saying that he is “not welcome.”

Singh said the aggressive verbal harassment was one the “most intense, threatening, insulting” experiences of his political career.

Peterborough police said there are no grounds for criminal charges.
