Brampton, Jan 31: After Khalistani groups unleashed chaos in Australia with the vandalization of Hindu temples, now Khalistani extremists have desecrated a Hindu temple, Gauri Shankar Mandir in Brampton city in Ontario province of Canada.
Reports suggest that the walls of the temple were vandalized with anti-India graffiti by Khalistanis associated allegedly with the banned outfit, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ). The vicious slogan of ‘Khalistan Zindabad, Hindustan Murdabad’ was found spray-painted on the outer wall of Gauri Shankar Mandir.
After the matter came to light, the Canadian authorities initiated a probe into the matter. In a statement, the Indian Consulate in Toronto said, “We strongly condemn defacing of Gauri Shankar Mandir in Brampton, a symbol of Indian heritage, with anti-India graffiti.”
"The hateful act of vandalism has deeply hurt sentiments of Indian community in Canada. We have raised our concerns on the matter with Canadian authorities," it further added.
Meanwhile the Mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown, has also condemned the attack on Gauri Shankar Mandir. “This hateful act of vandalism has no place in our City or Country. I have raised my concerns over this hate crime with @ChiefNish and @PeelPolice. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their place of worship.”
Canadian Parliamentarian Chandra Arya tweeted, "The attack of Gauri Shankar Mandir in Brampton is latest in attacks on Hindu temples in Canada by anti-Hindu and anti-India groups."
"From hatred on social media, now physical attacks on Hindu temples, what next? I call on govt at levels in Canada to start taking this seriously," he added.
This is not the first case in which Hindu temples have been targeted by Khalistani groups in Canada. In September last year, some Khalistanis defaced BAPS Swaminarayan Temple in Toronto with anti-India slogans of ‘Khalistan Zindabad, Hindustan Murdabad’ which was painted on the walls of the temple.
