Pro-Khalistan event seeks deportation of Hindus, PM’s caged effigy paraded

A parade taken out by Khalistani sympathisers in Canada demanded the deportation of 8,00,000 Hindus to India and also included a large truck with a mock-up of a jail that had effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

The anti-Hindu parade was held in Canada’s Malton Gurdwara, Toronto. A video of the parade has gone viral on social media. The event comes on the back of incidents of the vandalism of a Sikh gurdwara and a Hindu temple with pro-Khalistan graffiti.

The video was posted by a Hindu community leader in Canada, calling out the “blatant anti-Hindu hatred” from a Khalistani terrorist group.

“This isn’t a protest against India’s government. It’s blatant anti-Hindu hatred from a Khalistani terrorist group, notorious for Canada’s deadliest attack, yet arrogantly claiming the right to stay. #KhalistaniTerrorism,” Shawn Binda tweeted.

Canada’s “deadliest attack” is likely a reference to the 1985 bombing of Air India ‘Kanishka’ flight, which killed 329 people. The flight was en route from Montreal to Bombay when it was attacked by Khalistani separatists.

Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman also shared the video of the anti-Hindu parade, and questioned if Mark Carney’s Canada would be any different from Justin Trudeau’s in acting against Khalistani elements.

“The jihadis rampaging through our streets have done significant damage to the social fabric running around, threatening any Jews they can find. But the Khalistanis are giving them a good run for their money on most hateful foreign-funded menace to society. Will Mark Carney’s Canada be any different from Justin Trudeau’s?” Bordman tweeted.
