Brampton [Canada], November 4: After the attacks on Hindu temples in Canada, the Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) has today called for a peaceful protest in a show of solidarity against "Khalistani intimidation" and "anti-Hindu" hatred.
The protest on Monday was called at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton and the Laxmi Narayan Temple in Surrey.
An Indian consular camp at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Canada's Brampton witnessed a "violent disruption" on Sunday (local time) in Brampton, near Toronto.
Following the attacks, the Hindu Canadian Foundation, a non-profit organisation working for the Hindu community in Canada shared a video of the attack on the temple and said that the Khalistani terrorists attacked kids and women.
The Indian High Commission in Canada condemned the "violent disruption" by 'anti-India' elements outside a consular camp. The high commission also said that any further events will be organized "contingent on security arrangements" made by the local authorities.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also condemned the recent attack on the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton by Khalistani extremists. Emphasizing the importance of religious freedom, Trudeau asserted that every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely.
Sharing a post on X, 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."
The recent attack adds to a string of similar incidents documented in recent years, underscoring a distressing trend of religious intolerance.
