Ottawa (Canada) – Canadian MP Chandra Arya has stated that the Hindu community in Canada is fearful due to the activities of Khalistani separatists.

In a video message, Chandra Arya said,

1. I have heard concerns from Hindus across Canada regarding recent developments. As a Hindu Member of Parliament, I too have experienced these concerns firsthand. Last week, I could safely participate in a Hindu event in Edmonton only under the protection of RCMP officers, as a group of Khalistani protesters staged a disruptive demonstration against me.

2. In Canada, we have long recognised the serious problem of Khalistani violent extremism. Unfortunately, I have yet to hear any politician or Government official offer reassurance to Hindu-Canadians, many of whom feel concerned and fearful for their safety in light of recent events.

3. We know that extremism and terrorism do not recognise and are not limited to national borders. On Canadian Khalistani violent extremism, as Canadians, we expect our Federal Government and its agencies to collaborate with other affected countries to protect our citizens.

4. Appealing to Hindus in Canada, Chandra Arya said, “We are one of the most educated and successful communities in this country, contributing greatly to Canada’s progress. Yet, our low profile is often mistaken for weakness by politicians. I pledge to do my best to advocate on your behalf. However, my efforts alone are not enough. The only way to have our concerns addressed is for Hindu-Canadians to raise their voices and hold all politicians accountable. Together, we must ensure that our safety and interests are protected.”

Political support to Khalistanis

Chandra Arya referred to an article published in Canada’s ‘The Globe and Mail’ newspaper. It describes how Canadian politicians have glorified activities supporting terrorist attacks. The article stated that political leaders of this and all countries should not encourage separatist movements in other nations, especially those who support or engage in violence.

Editorial Perspective

Not only in Canada, but Hindus around the world are frightened. Even in India, they are living in constant fear. This is a matter of shame for Hindus.
