Increasing instances of hate against Hindus in Canada

G GOWTHAM
A group of prominent Indian-Americans has denounced the blatantly anti-Hindu remarks and the hostile climate in Canada. They have also urged Ottawa to avoid equating freedom of speech with freedom to support terrorism and to avoid endorsing hate crimes by remaining mute on the matter. Indian-Americans made the demand after a derogatory video from a pro-Khalistan group threatening Hindus in canada with expulsion went viral.
"It is alarming to witness Khalistani terrorists continually posing a threat to Canadian Hindus by vandalising and desecrating their sacred sites. According to professor Indu Vishwanathan, co-founder and co-director of the Understanding Hinduphobia at the Hindu university of America, "silence in the data-face of such blatant Hinduphobia, or worse, the justification that this is an acceptable form of political expression, is tantamount to the endorsement of hate crimes.
"Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of canada, shouldn't combine freedom of speech and freedom to commit acts of terrorism. He should instead end radicalization, drug gangs, and manage international problems professionally, according to a media release from Khanderao Kand of the Foundation for india and indian Diaspora Studies (FIIDS). The Khalistani video first appeared days after Trudeau claimed on september 18 that indian operatives may have had "potential" involvement in the murder of Canadian citizen and Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on june 18 in british Columbia.
