[Siasat] Despite our positive contributions, we don’t feel safe in Canada: Hindus to Trudeau

The Hindu Forum Canada (HFC) has expressed concern over the safety of Hindus in Canada¹. In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the HFC stated that despite their positive contributions, they don’t feel safe in the country¹. The letter was written in response to the ongoing political controversies surrounding alleged foreign (India) interference in Canada¹.

The HFC expressed deep concern about their safety and security amidst these controversies¹. They mentioned being deeply troubled by the remarks of organizations such as Sikhs for Justice and its leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun¹. Pannun, declared a ‘designated individual terrorist’ in 2020 by New Delhi, has stepped up his anti-India rhetoric¹. He has asked Canadian Hindus to leave the country followed by threats to disrupt Air India flights from Canada to India¹.

The HFC also expressed concern over the current political discourse regarding India’s alleged interference in Canada, which they believe further emboldens extremist elements¹. They advised the Canadian government against interfering in Indian democracy through ill-considered statements¹. The group expressed dismay over the misrepresentation of a proposed motion — M-112 — by MP Sukh Dhaliwal, which they believe sets a dangerous precedent¹.
