The police also beat up the devotees
Police Chief Nishan Duraippa said that those involved in the violence would be arrested and punished. In fact, on November 3, people who had come to the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton were attacked by Khalistani supporters. The attackers had Khalistani flags in their hands. They attacked the people present in the temple with sticks. After this, the police who reached the spot also beat up the devotees.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had strongly condemned this attack on the Hindu temple in Canada. He said that we expect action from the Canadian government. Such incidents cannot weaken us. At the same time, the Foreign Ministry had also appealed to the Canadian government to protect the places of worship.
Earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said that the violence at the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton cannot be accepted. Every Canadian has the right to practice his or her religion freely and safely.
The video of the attack on the Hindu temple has been shared by many Canadian MPs on their X handles.
Hindu temples have been attacked in Canada before
The High Commission had set up a consular camp outside the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton city of Canada. This camp was set up to meet the needs of Indian citizens. Life certificates were being issued in this. According to reports, Khalistanis, who were protesting on the completion of 40 years of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, reached there and attacked the people.
The Indian community has been worried about the targeting of Hindu temples and community members in Canada for some time. In the past few years, Hindu temples have been vandalized in the Greater Toronto Area, British Columbia and elsewhere in Canada.
India’s allegation – PM Trudeau doing anti-India politics for vote bank
Relations between India and Canada have seen a decline for more than a year. It started after the murder of pro-Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2020. In September last year, PM Trudeau alleged in Parliament that the Indian agency was involved in Nijjar’s murder.
After this, Trudeau had accused Indian diplomats of involvement in the October 13 Nijjar massacre last month. After this India recalled six of its diplomats including Sanjay Verma.
India says that the Canadian government’s allegations are baseless. Canada has not shared a single piece of evidence with the Indian government. They are making claims without facts. The Trudeau government is deliberately trying to defame India to gain political mileage.
India’s Foreign Ministry had said in a press conference last month that PM Trudeau’s enmity with India has been going on for a long time. His cabinet includes people who are openly associated with extremist organizations.
