Indo-Canadian leaders discuss barring politicians from temples over pro-Khalistan stance
Indo-Canadian community leaders are discussing a ban on politicians using temples for outreach unless they disavow the pro-Khalistan movement. This follows a violent incident at a Hindu temple in Brampton, Ontario, last week. Emotions remain high, particularly among Hindus, after the attack. Many community members are dissatisfied with responses from Canadian leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. They seek more than just words of support. A march in Ottawa highlighted community concerns, with speakers emphasizing solidarity against terrorism. Indo-Canadian MP Chandra Arya urged that politicians should not be given platforms at community events unless they condemn Khalistani extremism.
