Resonating back home as well with the widespread anger and condemnation pouring in from the Canadian lawmakers themselves following an attack by Khalistani extremists on the Hindu Sabha Temple in Canada's Brampton on Monday, Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu said attacks such as these on Hindus and Sikhs will not be tolerated.
He blamed the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for violence at the Hindu temple and said that it is because of his soft and tender approach toward Khalistani sympathizers that things have come to such a pass.
Not due to any religion but the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau has divided the people over there. People were going to temple to enjoy festival like Diwali. But are facing such attacks, says he added.
The Union Minister also claimed that the Canadian PM was doing nothing to save the Hindu community from the Khalistani sympathisers threatening, intimidating, and attacking them.
"Canada's PM is trying to hinder the peace of people who are from India, especially Punjab. Canadian police are protecting Khalistanis as they are attacking the attendees but no one is stopping them from doing so," he stated.
Such attacks will not be allowed, Bittu further added.
"Attackers are raising slogans and talking about Khalistan openly. I want to make this clear that it will not be tolerated. We will go to any extent to provide safety to the people living in Canada. These people who are attacking are on the payroll who are raising slogans for Khalistanis.". After this attack, PM Trudeau's and Canada's image has degraded only. Canada's PM always talks about peace. But, it is unfortunate that such types of attacks are happening in his country, he concluded.
Meanwhile, Canadian PM Trudeau has condemned the recent attack on Hindu devotees at a temple in Brampton by Khalistani extremists, saying that acts of violence are unacceptable in the country.
He further added that no person in Canada has a right to take away from the other person's the religious freedom, but all citizens have the right to express one's religion freely and also safely.
The acts of violence at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today are unacceptable," he posted on his social media platform X. "Every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely."
"Thanks to the Peel Regional Police for their speedy response to protect the community and for investigating this incident," it added.
