Birju Dattani resigned as head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission in June 2024 .

He is suing Melissa Lantsman , Ezra Levant and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs for defamation.

One of the defendants has called the claims “baseless” and said the lawsuit is an attempt to silence criticism of a public person on a matter of public interest.

He says he will continue to fight against hate and bigotry.
