Khalistani Extremists Attack Brampton Temple, Leaders Condemn Violence Against Hindus
MP Chandra Arya, opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, and Toronto MP Kevin Vuong have all publicly condemned the Khalistani radicals’ recent attack on the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton, Canada.
Canadian leaders condemn violence
On social media, Pierre Poilievre, a political rival of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, denounced the violence. Along with promising to halt the “chaos” in Canada, he emphasized the importance of protecting religious freedom. “It is unacceptable to witness violence targeting worshippers at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today,” Poilievre wrote in his post on X. There is little doubt that conservatives oppose this violence.
Rep. Kevin Vuong of Toronto reiterated these views, emphasizing Canada’s status as a “safe harbor for radicals.” The nation’s leadership, according to Vuong, has failed to defend religious minorities, such as Christians, Jews, and Hindus in Canada. In his post on X, he said, “We all deserve to worship in peace.”
‘Red Line Crossed’ by Extremists
The attack, according to MP Chandra Arya, marked a major rise in Khalistani radicalism in Canada. Arya posted a video of the incident and said, “Today, Canadian Khalistani fanatics crossed a red line. The extent of violent extremism in the nation is demonstrated by this attack.
Hindu Canadian Foundation Speaks Out
A non-profit group that supports the Hindu community, the Hindu Canadian Foundation, posted a video documenting assaults on women and children. They called out political sympathizers for encouraging such violence and accused Khalistani militants of attacking temple worshippers in their post on X.
