In a shocking report, top intelligence sources have revealed that the police in Canada allegedly demanded $70,000 from Hindu groups to protect against rising attacks on Hindu temples. The report, which was shared with News18, has raised concerns among the Hindu community, who say they feel unfairly targeted and pressured by local authorities.

Hindu Groups Speak Out

Hindu organizations in Canada are upset and frustrated with the Peel Police for reportedly asking for a large sum of money to ensure the safety of their communities. "We are also taxpayers. Why this bias towards us?" one member of the Canadian Hindu community was quoted as saying. The group expressed their disappointment, stating that instead of helping them, the police were adding unnecessary pressure.

Khalistani Influence Alleged

Sources suggest that the Canadian administration is facing pressure from Khalistani groups to cancel events organized by Hindu organizations. Khalistani groups, who advocate for an independent Sikh state, have been vocal in their opposition to Hindu gatherings in certain parts of Canada. The Trudeau government, according to sources, may be bowing to the influence of these groups, including Jagmeet Singh, leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and a known supporter of the Khalistani cause.

“This is the first time in the world that local police are demanding money to protect minorities," a source reportedly told News18.

Clash at Brampton Hindu Temple

The controversy gained attention after a violent protest broke out at the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton on November 3. Unverified videos on social media showed demonstrators waving Khalistani flags and engaging in violent confrontations with temple-goers. The protests, which appeared to disrupt a consular event organized by the temple and the Indian Consulate, turned chaotic with reports of fistfights and people attacking each other with poles.

Violence and Aftermath

The clash between the Khalistani protesters and the Hindu community led to significant tensions. According to the news agency PTI, the protestors were part of the group "Sikhs for Justice," and the violence took place while Indian consular officials were visiting the temple. The Peel Police responded to the situation, but the incident raised questions about the level of protection provided to minority groups in the country.

In the wake of the violence, the priest of the Hindu temple in Brampton was suspended for allegedly promoting "violent rhetoric" during the clashes.

Canadian Government Responds

The violence at the Hindu temple was condemned by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau emphasized that every Canadian citizen has the right to practice their religion freely and safely, and he pledged that his government would work to ensure this right is protected for all communities.

SUMMARY

In Canada, police are accused of asking Hindu groups to pay $70,000 for protection after attacks on Hindu temples. Hindu organizations are upset, saying it’s unfair since they are also taxpayers. They also feel the police are pressuring them instead of helping.

The situation is getting more complicated because some Khalistani groups, which want an independent Sikh state, are pressuring the government to cancel Hindu events. Sources say the Canadian government is under pressure from these groups and politicians like Jagmeet Singh, who supports them.

The issue came to light after a violent protest at the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton on November 3. Protesters carrying Khalistani flags clashed with people at the temple. The protest disrupted an event with Indian consular officials, and there were fights and violence. The temple priest was suspended for spreading violent messages.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the violence and said all Canadians should be able to practice their religion safely. The situation is raising concerns about the treatment of religious minorities in Canada.
