Anti-Hindu and anti-India activities in Canada
The anti-Hindu and anti-India elements, especially pro-Khalistani living in Canada, have been actively attacking Hindu and Indian government establishments in the country. In February 2023, Ram Temple in Mississauga, Canada, was attacked. In January this year, the Hindu temple in Brampton was attacked. Since the Punjab government and central agencies initiated a crackdown on pro-Khalistani separatist leader Amritpal Singh, pro-Khalistanis living in Canada and in other countries have attacked and protested outside the Indian government’s establishments in the respective countries.
