"“Let me be clear. Vast majority of our Canadian Sikh brothers and sisters do not support the Khalistan movement. Most Sikh Canadians may not publicly condemn the Khalistan movement for several reasons but they are deeply connected to the Hindu-Canadian community. Canadian Hindus and Sikhs are connected through family relationships and shared social and cultural ties” - Chandra Arya, Canadian MP

"“Two well-organized groups claiming to represent their faiths have been attacking Hindu-Canadian community leaders, Hindu organizations and even me. For over ten months, I have been attacked for raising a flag with our Hindu religious sacred symbol Aum on our parliament hill” - Chandra Arya, Canadian MP

“I have heard from many Hindu-Canadians who are fearful after this targeted attack. I urge Hindu-Canadians to stay calm but vigilant. Please report any incident of Hinduphobia to your local law enforcement agencies” Chandra Arya, Canadian MP

Ottawa, Sep 21: Amid the India-Canada diplomatic standoff, Canadian MP Chandra Arya alleged that the extremist elements of Khalistan are “attacking” and “threatening” Hindu-Canadians to go back to India. He has also urged all the Hindu-Canadians in the country to stay calm, and vigilant and report any untoward incident to law enforcement agencies.

“Few days back Khalistan movement leader in Canada and the president of Sikhs for Justice which organizes the so-called referendum Gurpatwant Singh Pannun attacked Hindu Canadians asking us to leave Canada and go back to India,” Arya posted on X (formerly Twitter). Notably, Chandra Arya is an Indo-Canadian leader who comes from the Liberal Party of Canada, the same party as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He said that the Khalistan movement leader is trying to “provoke” the Hindu Canadians to react and “divide the Hindu and Sikh communities” in Canada. However, Arya also clarified that a majority of Canadian Sikhs do not support the Khalistan movement. Arya stated that this “direct attack” on Hindu Canadians by the leader of the Canadian Khalistan movement is the further escalation of the recent attacks on Hindu temples and public celebration of the assassination of Hindu Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by “terrorists”.

“Canada has high moral values and we fully uphold the rule of law,” he added. He further expressed dismay at “glorification of terrorism” and hate crime being allowed in the name of “freedom of expression”. Arya added that the Hindu Canadians keep a low profile, are considered soft targets, and the “anti-Hindu elements” cannot digest the success of Hindu-Canadians.
