Hindu temple protest in Canada sparks safety alert and arrests

Canada police term Hindu protest over temple attack ‘unlawful’, warn of arrests.

Canadian police declared protests by the Hindu community against the attack on a Brampton temple as “unlawful”, warning of arrests if demonstrators did not disperse.

In a safety alert, Peel Regional Police said “weapons” were seen during the agitation by around 5,000 Indo-Canadians outside the Hindu Sabha temple, asking residents to stay away. It asked the crowd to immediately scatter or face arrest as the gathering became illegal.

On Sunday, pro-Khalistan supporters had clashed with temple-goers and interrupted an event co-hosted by the temple and Indian Consulate, with Sikh hardliners seen waving Khalistani flags.

The Hindu Canadian Foundation claimed women and children were targetted by the mob while a viral video showed cops charging at protesters outside.

Three arrests were made in the Brampton case as the Canadian government also suspended a cop recorded at a pro-Khalistan rally outside the temple.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the incident asserting religious freedom but didn’t directly blame Khalistani sympathizers.

India issued a strong response with PM Narendra Modi slamming the “cowardly” intimidation of Indian diplomats and demanding justice amid strained relations.
