Hakenkreuz

A Hindu advocacy group in Canada has launched a campaign 'Reclaim Swastika' after Canadian PM Justin Trudeau referred to Nazi Hakenkreuz as Swastika.

The Canadian PM condemned the display of hooked cross flags displaying hatred but blatantly compared it to the Hindu Swastika.

The victim is said to be in her 30s and was attacked after she opened the door on hearing the doorbell.
