The founder and priest of the Gauri Shankar Temple in Brampton, Canada, on Tuesday appealed to the Government of India to cancel the passports of those involved in anti-India activities in Canada.
Dhirendra Tripathi, who has been living in the city of Brampton for two decades, has demanded that the Canadian authorities take strict action against those who vandalized the temple on Monday and wrote anti-India messages on its walls, as these activities have created an atmosphere of anger among the Indian community. There is resentment.
Tripathi said that the Khalistanis have created an atmosphere of fear within us. His spirits are high and the community is in a state of uncertainty as to his next course of action. Canadian authorities should take strong steps to stop their activities.
The Consulate General of India in Toronto said that the defacement of the walls of the temple has hurt the sentiments of the Indian community living in Canada. The Consulate General said in a statement on Tuesday that we have conveyed our concerns to the Canadian authorities.
