British Columbia: A Hindu temple in Canada was vandalised by extremist elements with Khalistan referendum posters pasted on its door last week, Australia Today has reported. The incident happened in British Columbia province in Canada.
“Another #Hindu temple vandalised in #Canada by #Khalistan extremists – bogus #Khalistanreferendum posters put at door of @surreymandir to create fear among #Indian community,” Australia Today posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. The posters, shared by Australia Today, read: “Canada investigates the role of India in June 18th assassination”. The poster was referring to the killing of Khalistan Tiger Force chief and designated-terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar and also featured a picture of him. The video of the incident - showing two masked men pasting the posters and taking photos before fleeing the scene - has also gone viral on social media.
This is not the first such attack on Hindu temple in Canada. Multiple such incidents have been carried out by the Khalistani extremists. Several incidents were also recorded this year itself. In April this year, BAPS Swaminarayan temple was vandalised with anti-India graffiti in Windsor in Canada’s Ontario. Earlier in February, the Ram Mandir in Canada’s Mississauga was vandalised with anti-India graffiti. The Consulate General of India in Toronto had condemned the incidents and requested Canadian authorities to investigate the incidents and take prompt action against the perpetrators.
