Canadian Hindus are often gaslit and told Hinduphobia is a "figment of their imagination" (at best) and a “part of Hindu nationalist ideology” (at worst). So it’s ironic to see such blatantly anti-Hindu posts-attacking something as sacred as the Bhagwad Gita, go on to generate.
Why do we let people swear in on anything other than the Holy Bible?. Sorry, @AnitaAnandMP, but we're in Canada, not India!

1/n The year ends on a somber note for #CanadianHindus, as another Hindu temple is attacked. This time Ram Dham Mandir in Kitchener is not just vandalized but desecrated on Dec 22. The incident involved theft & desecration of sacred altar & hateful remarks against Hindu deities.

CoHNA appreciates the Canadian government's swift response to the investigation into Birju Dattani's suitability to lead the @CdnHumanRights, following allegations of his past involvement in #Antisemitic activities. Dattani intentionally omitted his alias 'Mujahid Dattani,' used.
We appreciate that the Government of Canada took the concerns of the Jewish community seriously and initiated an investigation into Birju Dattani's suitability to lead the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), given the revelations about his associations with individuals and

Thanks @kbolan for your important work in reminding us of this solemn anniversary. Such a long history of mis-steps and failure to protect Canadians who sought to speak up against violence and terrorism. 🙏🙏🏾.
Canadian journalist Tara Singh Hayer was assassinated 26 years ago today. To date, no one has been charged though gangsters allegedly hired by the Babbar Khalsa terrorist group were identified as suspects. Hayer had agreed to be an Air India witness.

Thank you, @AryaCanada, for highlighting how #CdnPoli has become complicit in furthering conspiracy theories by Khalistani groups. A petition by a sitting MP for a NEW inquiry into the decades old Kanishka bombing, is like the US government endorsing 9/11 conspiracy.
My statement in parliament today:.39 years back Air India Flight 182 was blown-up mid-air from a bomb planted by Canadian Khalistan extremists. It killed 329 people and is the largest mass killing in Canadian history. Even today, the ideology responsible for this terrorist attack

What will M-128, a "caste discrimination" motion by MP @DonDavies mean for Hindus? Understand how the motion singles out, profiles, & targets a specific group of people based on their origin. And learn how to fight it. . @ShawnBinda @rishabh_sarswat

Celebrating the assassination of a Hindu female leader has become an annual affair in 🇨🇦. The graphic depiction with bullet holes mocks the trauma of thousands of Hindus who perished during the 1980s in Punjab at the hands of religiously motivated terrorists. 1/n.
Khalistan supporters in Vancouver with posters, of Hindu Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi body with bullet holes with her bodyguards turned assassins holding their guns, are again attempting to instil fear of violence in Hindu-Canadians. This is continuation of threats with a

How is the narrative of “caste” taught in Canadian schools? What impact does it have on young Hindus, and what are the longstanding consequences for their safety?. In this clip from our recent session about the M-128 caste discrimination motion in Canada, @ShawnBinda shares his

Thank you, @chcconline, for the generous gesture of sponsoring legal costs for those affected by recent Khalistani attack in Hindu Sabha temple Brampton.
In response, CHCC has secured anonymous sponsors to cover the legal costs for anyone affected by these attacks. We call on authorities to take swift action to ensure the safety of places of worship and to hold those responsible accountable.

“Unfortunately, many Canadians are not aware that even today, the ideology responsible for this terrorist attack is still alive among few people in Canada.” . Thanks, @AryaCanada ji, for pointing out the obvious truth which many Parliamentarians conveniently ignore. You.
June 23, 2024 marks the 39th anniversary of the 1985 Air India bombing by Canadian based Khalistani terrorists. On Tuesday I made a statement in our parliament (text below). Wherever possible, please attend the memorial services on June 23. Ottawa: Air India Flight 182 Monument

@kushal_mehra shared his deep sorrow over the loss of his family members during the Punjab insurgency in that era. From Vancouver to Ottawa to Montreal to Toronto, Khalistan supporters attempted to disrupt solemn memorial services across the country. Kushal expressed profound
