Indo-Canadian community discuss barring politicians from using temples for outreach events unless they disavow pro-Khalistan movement

Hindustan Times  

Toronto: Indo-Canadian community leaders are considering a prohibition on Canadian politicians using temples for community outreach appearances unless they disavow the pro-Khalistan movement in the country. Emotions are still high within the community, especially Hindus, following the attack and few have been impressed by statements from Canadian leadership, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and opposition leader Pierre Poilievre. Second, and importantly, I call on all Hindus and Sikhs in Canada to urge community leaders not to provide a platform at any of our events or temples to politicians unless they publicly recognise and expressly condemn Khalistani extremism.” The Canadian chapter of the Coalition of Hindus of North America has called upon the country’s political class to “heed the voices of Hindu Canadians and take decisive, tangible action”. On November 6, the Hindu Federation, an umbrella group of over two dozen temples in the province of Ontario including the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Toronto and the Hindu Sabha Mandir, issued an open letter, in which it stated, “These acts of extremism, left unchecked for decades under political patronage, have lead to frustration and a profound sense of vulnerability within our community.”
