Sabotage Hindu Temple in Canada
In Canada’s British Columbia, a temple was vandalized on Saturday with pro-Khalistan and anti-India placards stuck to its front gate and back wall. The Lakshmi Narayan Mandir was surrounded by the offensive posters. According to Satish Kumar, the president of the temple, the incident had been reported to the Surrey RCMP detachment.
According to the CCTV footage, two people wearing masks were seen by the security cameras at the temple. He claimed that due to security worries as it planned to celebrate Independence Day on August 20, the temple had contacted police even earlier.
The temple board will conduct an urgent meeting to talk about the situation on Sunday.
‘WANTED’ was written beneath the names and pictures of India’s High Commissioner to Ottawa, Consul General to Toronto, and Consul General to Vancouver, according to media sources.
The second poster, which was stuck to the back doors, demanded that Canada look into India’s “role” in the June 18 “assassination” of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
This is the third time this year that a temple has been vandalized in Canada. Earlier, on January 31, anti-Indian graffiti was written on a temple in Brampton.
The incidence of painting hateful words about India on the temple walls was denounced by Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown.
In Ontario, another Hindu temple was vandalized in April of this year. Two individuals were captured on CCTV spray painting the Hindu temple’s walls, according to Windsor Police.
Recently, such posters started to emerge all around Surrey. On August 1, these posters were put up in front of the entrance to the structure housing the Indian Consulate in Vancouver.
The posters made reference to Nijjar’s murder, who served as the leader of the separatist organization Sikhs for Justice in British Columbia.
On June 18 in Surrey, Nijjar was murdered in the Guru Nanak Singh Gurdwara Sahib’s parking lot.
