This is the third time this year that a temple has
been vandalised in Canada. Earlier, on January 31, anti-Indian graffiti was
written on a temple in Brampton.
In Ontario, another Hindu temple was vandalised in April of this year. Two individuals were captured on CCTV spray painting the Hindu temple's walls, according to Windsor Police.
In Canada's British Columbia, a temple was
vandalised on Saturday with pro-Khalistan placards stuck to its front gate and
back wall. The Lakshmi Narayan Mandir was surrounded by the offensive posters.
According to Satish Kumar, the president of the temple, the incident had been
reported to the Surrey RCMP station.
According to the CCTV video, temple security cameras
caught two people wearing masks. He stated that due to security worries as it
gets ready to celebrate Independence Day on August 20, the temple had contacted
police even earlier.
The temple board will have an urgent meeting to
examine the situation on Sunday.
'WANTED' was written beneath the names and pictures
of India's High Commissioner to Ottawa, Consul General to Toronto, and Consul
General to Vancouver, according to media sources.
The second poster, which was stuck to the back
doors, demanded that Canada look into India's "role" in the June 18
"assassination" of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Recently, such posters started to emerge all around
Surrey. On August 1, these posters were put up in front of the entrance to the

organisation Sikhs For Justice.
On June 18 in Surrey, Nijjar was killed in the
parking lot of the Guru Nanak Singh Gurdwara Sahib.
