Cops Force Canada Temple To Cancel Event

Canada’s Vaishno Devi Temple was forced to cancel an event after the Halton Police, under pressure from Khalistani elements, refused to give the venue.

Calling it a “blatant demonstration of incompetence and an inability to ensure the safety of community-benefit events", the mandir administration said: “We demand that the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) take immediate action to provide viable solutions for Hindu Canadians, Sikhs, Muslims, and others who rely on these services, especially seniors."

They added: “The impact of this Khalistani extremism is affecting countless Canadians, and a concrete resolution is needed now more than ever."

It was reported earlier how Canada’s Peel Police demanded money to protect Hindu groups. Intelligence sources had said that the police allegedly demanded $70,000 to provide protection, angering the community which said: “We are also taxpayers, why this bias towards us? The Peel Police, instead of addressing our issues, is putting undue pressure on us."

Intelligence sources said police were under pressure from Khalistani groups to force temples to cancel their events. Earlier, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) founder Gurpatwant Singh Pannun had announced new dates of temple attacks in Canada and issued an open threat to Hindu MP Chandan Arya, triggering a response from India which termed the actions “terror acts".

The attacks on Hindu temples began on a large scale in the last one year, including the firing at the house of Satish Sharma, president of Surrey’s Lakshmi Narayan Mandir.
