Indo-Canadian groups slam anti-Hindu rhetoric at Toronto parade

Hindustan Times  

Toronto: Indo-Canadian community groups have expressed anger over pro-Khalistan elements openly targeting the country’s Hindus, as evidenced by a protest at the India Day Parade in Toronto on Sunday. A pro-Khalistan group gathered at the venue for the event, a celebration of India’s Independence Day and were heard shouting, “Canadian Hindus go back to India”, among other slogans. That demonstration was part of the so-called Khalistan Rally, and flyers circulated in the days preceding it called for a “Face-off” between “Khalistan Sikhs” and “Canadian Hindus” That display was condemned by community groups. Another group, Canadian Hindu Volunteers also expressed outrage over the incident, as it said, “Such rhetoric, if directed at any other community, would undoubtedly prompt swift and decisive action from elected officials and law enforcement.” Describing the episode as “despicable”, it added, “We implore Canadian authorities and elected representatives to recognise the severity of this issue, take immediate action to curb these hateful acts by extremist groups, and ensure that Hindu Canadians can live safely and with dignity.
