Delhi News: The incident of targeting the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton, Canada and assaulting the devotees is being strongly opposed in India. The Hindu Sikh Global Forum protested outside the Canadian High Commission in Delhi today (Sunday).

A large number of forum members gathered and started moving towards the Canadian High Commission. In view of the protest, a large number of Delhi Police Rapid Action Force teams were deployed. Jawans were deployed till Teen Murti Chowk and Chanakyapuri to handle the security arrangements.

Two layers of barricading were done to stop the protesters. Members of Hindu Sikh Global Forum were crossing the barricades and moving ahead with placards and banners in their hands. The protesters were not allowed to reach the Canadian High Commission. Gurmeet Singh, who is involved in the protest, says that people have gathered to maintain Hindu Sikh unity. The incident in Canada has had a negative impact on the image of Sikhs across the world.

'Attempt to defame Sikhism'

He said that Guru Tej Bahadur Ji had given the message of unity. Some people are trying to defame our religion. Jagmeet, who came to join the protest, says that the population of Sikhs in India is between one to three crores. Sikhs have always lived in India. Our Gurus have made sacrifices in India.

The Sikh woman also expressed anger over the incident in Canada. She said that people with low mentality do such things. An ordinary Sikh can never do such a thing. For them, Gurudwara or temple are the same. We also go to the temple.

Protesters outside the Canadian High Commission

She said that why don't the attackers demand Khalistan from Pakistan? Pakistan also has Punjab. Why do they target only India? Pannu is only provoking Sikhs. Khalistan is not an issue. Indradeep Kaur says that Sikhs have worked to protect every religion. The attackers want to start a fight between Hindus and Sikhs. The Forum officials reached Chanakyapuri police station and submitted a memorandum. In the memorandum, a demand was made to make arrangements for the security of Hindu temples and Sikh Gurudwaras.
