A storm of controversy has erupted in Canada, with allegations that the Peel police demanded a staggering $70,000 from Hindu groups for protection against attacks, as tensions with Khalistani protesters escalate. Intelligence sources have revealed this shocking demand, sparking outrage among Hindu organizations who feel targeted and discriminated against.
The Canadian Hindu groups are questioning the police’s motives, arguing that they are taxpayers and should not be subjected to such demands. They feel the Peel police are prioritizing their own interests over addressing their legitimate concerns about safety.
Sources claim that the Canadian administration is facing pressure from Khalistani groups to suppress Hindu events, with the Trudeau government reportedly bowing to these pressures ahead of the upcoming Finance Bill. They allege that the government is trying to appease Khalistani groups and their political ally, Jagmeet Singh, the leader of Canada’s NDP.
This unprecedented incident, where local police are accused of demanding money to protect minorities, has sparked outrage and raised serious concerns about the safety of minorities in Canada.
The allegations come amidst a string of violent incidents, including a protest at the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton on November 3rd. Videos circulating on social media, though unverified, show protesters holding banners supporting Khalistan, engaging in fistfights, and even assaulting people with poles.
During the protest, demonstrators carrying Khalistani flags clashed with attendees and disrupted a consular event jointly organized by the temple authorities and the Indian Consulate, according to PTI.
The violence, which initially erupted at the Hindu temple in Brampton on Sunday afternoon, occurred after members of the group Sikhs for Justice held a protest while Indian consular officials were visiting.
In response to these incidents, the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the violence, emphasizing that every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely. However, the accusations against the Peel police raise serious questions about the government’s commitment to ensuring the safety of all Canadians, particularly minority groups.
The demand for $70,000 for protection, coupled with the alleged pressure from Khalistani groups, has created a climate of fear and uncertainty for Hindu communities in Canada. The situation is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by minorities in a globalized world and the importance of upholding the principles of equality and justice.
