Tue Nov 05 06:24:30 UTC 2024: ## Pro-Khalistan Groups Attack Hindu Temples in Canada, Sparking Outrage
**Brampton, Canada -** A wave of violence has shaken the Indian diaspora in Canada after pro-Khalistan groups attacked two Hindu temples in separate incidents, sparking widespread condemnation.
The first incident occurred in Brampton, where a group of individuals wielding yellow Khalistani flags stormed the Hindu Sabha temple campus, assaulting those present. Similar scenes of violence unfolded in Surrey, where another temple was targeted.
The attacks, captured on camera, have sent shockwaves through the community. This marks the first time that a community within India has been targeted in such a manner on Canadian soil.
The timing of these attacks coincides with the annual Indian Consulate’s “Counselor Service Camp” held at various locations, including temples and gurdwaras, to assist elderly Indian pensioners living in Canada.
**Court Orders Ignored:**
While the Khalsa Diwan Gurudwara Sahib in Vancouver had successfully obtained a court injunction prohibiting protests near the gurudwara during the camp, no such orders were in place for the temples in Surrey and Brampton. This lack of protection allowed pro-Khalistan groups to enter the temples and disrupt the service camp.
**Jagmeet Singh’s Role Accused:**
The incidents have been linked to the political agenda of Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP (National Democratic Party) and a key supporter of the Trudeau government. Singh’s support is crucial for Trudeau’s political stability, and some believe Singh is leveraging his position to inflame tensions with India.
The Indian government views Singh as an anti-India activist and has banned him from entering the country.
The attacks and the alleged political motivations behind them have created a climate of fear and division within the Indian community in Canada. The incidents are under investigation by Canadian authorities.
