What led to the Khalistani attack on Canada's Hindu temple?
Canada's Brampton on Sunday has sparked off widespread outrage. The attack is part of a long campaign by Khalistanis to browbeat the Hindu community in Canada.
It adds to a series of such incidents in recent years. Earlier, a Hindu temple in Windsor suffered defacement with anti-India graffiti. Earlier incidents in Mississauga and Brampton saw temples similarly targeted, drawing strong reactions from the Indian community in Canada. Last year in December, gunshots were fired at the residence of the son of Satish Kumar, the president of Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey.
Khalistanis targeted a consular camp for senior citizens
Indian diplomats in Canada have been in the cross hairs of Khalistanis for long, especially after the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year in Vancouver for which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has blamed Indian agents without providing any proof so far.
The controversy took a new turn last month when Canadian authorities identified the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats as “persons of interest” in an investigation, most likely linked to Nijjar's murder. India termed the allegations as “preposterous” and attributed them to the political agenda of Trudeau’s government, driven by vote bank politics. India recalled its High Commissioner and many other diplomats and officials from Canada, stating that Canadian actions endangered their safety. India also expelled six Canadian diplomats.
