The Indian Embassy in Canada has conveyed its serious concerns over the defacing of a Hindu Gauri Shankar temple in Brampton, Greater Toronto, by suspected Sikh separatists to Global Affairs, Canada and has separately asked the local law enforcement agencies to act against the perpetrators. The Indian concerns were conveyed in the form of note verbale to the Justin Trudeau government today in Canada.
The defacing/graffiti incident follows an incident in Melbourne, Australia where Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple was vandalized with hate-filled graffiti by pro-Khalistan separatists with Indian Embassy to Australia taking up the issue with the federal government.
The same group of Sikh separatists have been active in UK, Germany, and US under the banner of proscribed Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) platform and have been collecting funds in local Gurudwaras under the name of non-existent atrocities against the community in India.
