Canadian Hindu organizations, including the Canadian National Council of Hindus (CNCH) and the Hindu Federation, have announced a strong directive following a violent incident at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton. They will no longer allow politicians to use temple facilities for political activities unless they take “concrete efforts” to address the rising issue of Khalistani extremism in Canada.
The directive comes after Khalistani extremists attacked Hindu-Canadian worshippers at the temple, an event that has sparked widespread condemnation, including from various Canadian leaders. The CNCH highlighted that this attack reflects a troubling trend of religious intolerance in Canada, particularly under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.
The CNCH expressed serious concerns about the safety of the Hindu community in Canada, noting that the attackers forcibly entered the temple and assaulted attendees, leaving the community feeling vulnerable and demanding action. Despite repeated calls for enhanced security measures to protect Hindu places of worship, political leaders have not taken meaningful steps to combat the growing hostility.
As part of their directive, Hindu temples will continue to welcome politicians as devotees but will restrict their access to temple platforms until they show genuine efforts to tackle Khalistani extremism. This decision emphasizes the community’s dedication to protecting their sacred spaces and their demand for action to ensure the safety and dignity of all Canadians.
Additionally, the Ontario Sikhs and Gurdwara Council (OSGC) condemned the violence at the temple, stating that such acts have no place in a community that values peace, unity, and respect. They called for restraint, dialogue, and collaboration among communities to foster a peaceful and harmonious environment, urging local authorities to investigate the incident thoroughly and reaffirming that violence is unacceptable in society.
