Days then an assault on Hindus at a Brampton temple, Canadian MP Chandra Arya has drop down closely on politicians pitting Hindus and Sikhs on “opposing sides” and asserted that the Hindu-Canadians and the Sikhs are on one facet and the Khalistanis at the alternative.
Because of the planned movements of a few politicians and the affect of Khalistanis, Canadians now mistakenly equate Khalistanis with Sikhs, Arya stated in wake of a number of Canadian flesh presser seeking to painting the Brampton incident as a hit between the Canadian Hindu and Sikh communities.
Protesters wearing Khalistani flags clashed with devotees at a Hindu Sabha temple and disrupted an match co-organised via the temple government and the Indian Consulate on November 3 at Brampton, a town in Ontario’s Higher Toronto Segment.
“Politicians are deliberately avoiding recognising and mentioning Khalistanis as responsible for this attack or are shifting the blame to other entities. They are misleading Canadians by framing this as an issue between Hindus and Sikhs,” Arya, a member of Parliament from Nepean, Ontario, stated in a publish on X on Friday.
“Politicians are portraying Hindus and Sikhs as opposing sides regarding the attack on the temple by Khalistani extremists. This picture is simply not true. The two sides are actually Hindu-Canadians and the vast majority of Sikh-Canadians on one side, and Khalistanis on the other,” Arya stated within the publish on X which had each a video and a textual content commentary.
Strongly condemning the assault via Khalistani extremists “on behalf of Hindu-Canadians and the vast majority of Sikh-Canadians,” Arya additionally identified how it’s familiar in Canada to look Hindus visiting Sikh Gurudwaras and Sikhs visiting Hindu temples.
“Politicians may try their best to divide Hindus and Sikhs. We can—and must—prove them wrong,” he appealed. “We, as Hindus and Sikhs, will not and should not allow vested interests to divide us for their political gain.” The members of the family between Republic of India and Canada have come below dreadful pressure following Top Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations in September closing week of a “potential” involvement of Indian brokers in Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing.
Fresh Delhi unwanted Trudeau’s fees as “absurd.” Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, was once designated a terrorist via Republic of India.
Republic of India has been keeping up that the primary factor between the 2 international locations is that of Canada giving area to pro-Khalistan parts working from Canadian landscape with impunity.
Republic of India has expelled six Canadian diplomats and withdrawn its top commissioner Sanjay Verma and alternative “targeted” officers from Canada then strongly pushing aside Ottawa’s fees.
Arya, who has been vocal at the factor previous too, additionally discussed the Sikh crowd chief and previous British Columbia Premier Ujjal Dosanjh, who stated {that a} serene majority of Sikhs don’t need to have the rest to do with Khalistan and that they only don’t discuss out as a result of they’re scared of violence and violent aftereffects.
Dosanjh stated Khalistani supporters keep an eye on lots of the Gurudwaras in Canada however the serene Sikhs “still hold power over which politicians get elected,” Arya stated.
“Due to the deliberate actions of some politicians and the influence of Khalistanis, Canadians now mistakenly equate Khalistanis with Sikhs,” he stated, including, Hindus and Sikhs similar will have to train Canadians “that we get up united in our battle towards Khalistani extremists and their political backers.” He additionally appealed to Hindus and Sikhs in Canada to induce the crowd leaders “not to provide a platform at any of our events or temples to politicians unless they publicly recognise and expressly condemn Khalistani extremism.” In the meantime, Canadian Top Minister Justin Trudeau has said the presence of Khalistan supporters in Canada however stated they don’t constitute the Sikh crowd as a complete.
His feedback got here all through Diwali celebrations at Ottawa’s Parliament Hill not too long ago amid an ongoing diplomatic row with Republic of India over Nijjar’s killing.
