Video of assault on Hindus goes viral
Canadian journalist Daniel Boardman has shared a video in which the crowd is shouting slogans. Also some policemen are seen beating some Hindus.
Boardman wrote, ‘Peel Regions Police began attacking Hindu devotees in Surrey BC on their own temple grounds. Watch how an RCMP officer goes into the crowd after pushing back Hindu devotees to save Khalistanis who had come to harass temple-goers on Diwali.
He wrote, ‘The incident of Hindus being punched in the head and beaten with batons was captured on video.’
PM Modi condemned the incident
Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned the violence by Khalistani terrorists at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton, Canada and intimidation of Indian diplomats.
Modi wrote in one of his posts on X, ‘I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada.
The cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats are equally appalling.
Such acts of violence will never weaken India’s resolve. Modi said, ‘We hope that the Canadian government will ensure justice and maintain the rule of law.’
