Canada: Now the ruckus about the swastika, preparations to ban the use, India talks to the Trudeau government


Posted on 18th Feb 2022 02:58 pm by rohit kumar

Controversy has now arisen in Canada regarding the Swastika, the sacred symbol of Hindus. A bill has been introduced in the Canadian Parliament to ban the use of the swastika. This enraged the Indo-Canadian community. The Government of India has spoken to PM Justin Trudeau regarding this.

 

 

Supporters of Canada's New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh have introduced a bill to ban the swastika. Earlier, there was a huge uproar in Canada over the truck drivers' strike. The Indo-Canadian community has consistently demanded a ban on the display or sale of symbols such as the Nazi swastika and the Ku Klux Klan insignia, German standards from 1933 to 1945, and US federal states and uniforms from 1861 to 1865.

 

 

On the other hand, Jagmeet Singh had tweeted earlier this month, 'The Swastika and the Sangh flag have no place in Canada. It is our responsibility to make our communities safe for all. It is time to ban hate symbols in Canada.

 

Apoorva Srivastava, Consul General of India has written to Toronto-based lawyer Ragini Sharma that she has formally spoken to the Canadian government on the issue. The petitions received from Canadian groups in this regard have been shared with them. Canada's Liberal Party MP Chandra Arya can raise this matter in the House of Commons. His office tells Ragini Sharma that he is very concerned about the plan to ban the swastika. He is taking the initiative to stop this plan.

 

Advocate Ragini Sharma said that a campaign is being run to oppose the bill. They were against mistaking the cross for the Nazi 'Heiken Cruz' or the swastika. We need to educate Canadians about the differences and explain that the swastika has nothing to do with the Nazi hate symbol.

 

If it becomes law, it could also cause problems for Indians and organizations such as the Canadian Buddhist Association, which prominently displays lines of this insignia at the entrance of its temple in Toronto. Furious Indo-Canadians also held a rally in this context in the city of Surrey, British Columbia. Organizations including the Hindu Temple in Burnaby and the Gurukul Cultural Society of Canada participated in the protests last Sunday. Nima Manral, one of the participants, said they are demanding that the word swastika be dropped from the bill and replaced with Nazi symbols. How can we not display the swastika at home or in the temple?
