REGINA - Violence has hit the campaign trail in Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan Party confirms in a news release that two bullet holes were found in the window of the campaign office of their candidate in Regina Northeast, Rahul Singh.
The incident has since been reported to police.
“Our campaign has already had many signs stolen but this goes well beyond that, putting our campaign volunteers in danger,” Singh said in a news release.
"I have reported this attack to the Regina Police Service and they are now investigating."
In a statement, Scott Moe called this unacceptable.
“I spoke to Rahul this morning,” Moe said. “I know he is troubled by this but he will not be intimidated. He has knocked thousands of doors and spoken with thousands of voters in Regina Northeast and that’s exactly what he plans to continue doing from now until Election Day.”
NDP Leader Carla Beck also denounced the violence. In a statement, she said the following:
"No politician should ever be subjected to violence. I have learned of reports that gunshots were fired at the campaign office belonging to Regina Northeast candidate Rahul Singh. My heart goes out to Mr. Singh, the volunteers and the campaign staff working to support Mr. Singh’s campaign who are no doubt shaken by this violent act. I hope that whoever committed this act is brought to justice."
On the X platform, Sask United leader Jon Hromek posted the following:
"I am troubled by the shooting at Rahul Singh's campaign office. This kind of interference in our democratic process is unacceptable and should not be tolerated. My thoughts are with Mr. Singh, his staff, and his volunteers."
