Canadian Police Officer Suspended After Pro-Khalistani Protest at Hindu Temple

A Canadian police officer has been suspended after his involvement in a pro-Khalistani protest that escalated into an attack on a Hindu temple. Sergeant Harinder Sohi, a Peel Regional Police officer, was identified in videos of the protest at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton, Ontario, on Sunday. The videos show Sohi chanting anti-India slogans and displaying a Khalistani flag. This incident has sparked outrage and raised serious concerns about the potential for extremism within law enforcement.

Following his suspension from duty, Sergeant Sohi reportedly received a barrage of death threats on social media. In response to these threats, the Peel Regional Police Association has offered “assistance and protection” to the officer. This incident highlights the delicate balance between freedom of expression and the potential for violence and intimidation.

The attack on the Hindu Sabha Temple is a stark reminder of the growing tensions surrounding the Khalistani movement. While the right to peaceful protest is fundamental in a democratic society, any actions that incite violence or hatred towards any community are unacceptable and must be condemned. This incident underscores the need for authorities to address the root causes of extremism and ensure the safety and security of all citizens, regardless of their faith or background.
