Canada: Khalistani supporters threaten to target Hindu temple, Indian-origin MP demands action

Tension is continuously increasing between India and Canada regarding Khalistani supporters and activities. Meanwhile, Indian-origin Canadian MP Chandra Arya on Monday shared a purported video of Khalistani supporters in Surrey, claiming they wanted to create trouble at the Hindu Lakshmi Narayan temple.

Call for strict action

Canadian MP Arya shared this video on the social media platform X. Also, called upon the authorities to take action and take strict measures.

Incidents happening in the name of freedom of expression

He said that according to some reports, a Sikh family was misbehaving outside the Gurudwara in Surrey last week. Now it appears that the same Khalistani group wants to create trouble at the Hindu Lakshmi Narayan Temple in Surrey. He further said that all this is being done in the name of freedom of speech and expression. So once again I'm asking Canadian authorities to step up and take action.

Attacked several times in the past years

Arya said that Hindu temples have been attacked several times during the last few years. Hate crimes are being committed against Hindu-Canadians. He said it is not acceptable to allow these things to continue openly and publicly

Demolition was done in August

In August this year, a Hindu temple in Canada was vandalized by extremist elements with posters of the Khalistan referendum. The poster at the temple gate also had the picture of Khalistan Tiger Force chief and designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was killed in June this year.
