Members of the ‘Hindu Forum Canada’ have sought security for the Hindu community due to threats from Khalistani elements, particularly in response to statements by designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who urged Indo-Canadian Hindus to leave the country. Canadian officials, including Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Minister Harjit Sajjan, have strongly condemned the hate video, asserting that such acts have no place in Canadian society.
Canadian MP Chandra Arya has alleged that extremist elements are targeting Hindu-Canadians, urging them to return to India. He calls for vigilance and reporting of any incidents, expressing dismay at the glorification of terrorism and hate crimes under the guise of freedom of expression.
