Another Hindu temple vandalised in Canada’s Ontario province
Hindustan TimesYet another Hindu temple has been desecrated in Canada after being spraypainted with anti-India graffiti late on Tuesday night. A spokesperson for the BAPS organization told the Hindustan Times they were “very shocked by the anti-Indian graffiti on our mandir walls.” In an email to members of the Hindu Federation in Canada, a representative of the BAPS organization said the “incident was reported to the local police for their immediate necessary action.” Images attached to the email showed slogans against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Slogans spraypainted included those attacking India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and describing the founder of the separatist Khalistan movement, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, as a “martyr.” Prior to that on January 30, the Gauri Shankar Mandir in Brampton was similarly desecrated. Four days earlier, on March 23, a statue of Mahatma Gandhi, located at the City Hall in the town of Hamilton in Ontario was defaced and anti-India and pro-Khalistan graffiti spraypainted near its base.
