Hindu Sabha Mandir Khalistan Attack, Hindu Temple Brampton Khalistan Attack, Hindu Temple Attack Canada: While India-Canada diplomatic relationship continues to hit rock bottom, Canadian PM Trudeau's soft support to Pro-Khalistan outfits has started to show on the ground. Recently, a mob carrying Pro Khalistan flags attacked a famous Hindu Temple in Brampton and also assaulted devotees present there to worship. The name of the Hindu temple where Pro Khalistan launched an attack was Hindu Sabha Mandir. Hence, the Hindu Sabha Mandir Khalistan Attack video started to spread like wildfire, and Canadian PM Justin Trudeau came under the scanner yet again.
In the viral Hindu Temple Brampton video, the mob was seen carrying flags associated with pro-Khalistani groups. The Hindu Canadian Foundation, a non-profit community organisation, which responded on social media, said children and women were also attacked in the incident. Multiple reports suggest that a group of Khalistani supporters were holding a demonstration to commemorate the 1984 anti-Sikh riots before the attack took place.
The incident escalated tensions in the area, prompting the Canadian police to deploy a significant number of personnel. Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah urged restraint, stating, "We respect the right to protest peacefully and safely, but we will not tolerate violence and criminal acts."
After the video garnered global attention and criticism of the Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau took to his X handle and condemned the violent attack on the temple. Canada PM Trudeau wrote, "The acts of violence at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today are unacceptable. Every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely. Thank you to the Peel Regional Police for swiftly responding to protect the community and investigate this incident."
Canada's opposition leader Pierre Poilievre reacted to the incident and wrote, "Completely unacceptable to see violence targeting worshippers at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today. All Canadians should be free to practice their faith in peace. Conservatives condemn this violence unequivocally. I will unite our people and end the chaos."
