Hanuman Statue in Khalistani Den Brampton Sparks Anti-Hindu Sentiment in Canada; Temple Increases Security Measures

A massive statue of Lord Hanuman is set to be built in Khalistani quarter Brampton, Canada; the area has had a number of incidents involving anti-Hindu and anti-Indian sentiment. On social media, the Hanuman monument also provoked remarks derogatory to Hindus. Some demanded an immediate stop to all immigration to Canada, while others bemoaned the statue’s “in your face” size. On Hanuman Jayanti in April of the following year, the nearly finished statue of Hanuman would be unveiled.
