00:03 Hindu Forum Canada, a non-profit organization advocating
00:09 for the well-being of minority populations in Canada,
00:12 has reached out to the country's Minister of Public Safety,
00:15 Dominic Leblanc, seeking security measures
00:18 for the Hindu community due to threats from Khalistani groups.
00:21 The organization expressed deep concern
00:23 over remarks made by designated terrorist, Gurpatwant Singh
00:26 Pannu, the leader of the banned Sikh for Justice organization.
00:30 Pannu had made threats against Indo-Canadian Hindus
00:33 in a viral video, urging them to leave Canada.
00:37 Canadian MP, Chandra Arya, an India-born liberal MP,
00:41 condemned hate crimes targeting Hindu Canadians
00:43 and expressed support for the community.
00:45 He called for vigilance and unity among Hindus,
00:48 while emphasizing that most Canadian Sikhs do not endorse
00:51 the Khalistani movement.
00:53 A few days back, Khalistan movement leader in Canada
00:57 and president of Sikhs for Justice,
00:59 which organizes the so-called referendum,
01:02 Gurpatwant Singh Pannu attacked Hindu Canadians,
01:06 asking us to leave Canada and go back to India.
01:10 I have heard from many Hindu Canadians who are fearful
01:14 after this targeted attack.
01:16 I urge Hindu Canadians to stay calm, but vigilant.
01:21 Please report any incident of Hindu phobia
01:24 to your local law enforcement agencies.
01:27 The Khalistan movement leader is trying to provoke
01:30 Hindu Canadians to react and divide the Hindu
01:33 and Sikh communities in Canada.
01:35 Let me be clear, vast majority of our Canadian Sikh brothers
01:40 and sisters do not support Khalistan movement.
01:44 Most Sikh Canadians may not publicly condemn
01:47 the Khalistan movement for several reasons,
01:50 but they're deeply connected to the Hindu Canadian community.
01:55 These developments come amid diplomatic tensions
01:57 between Canada and India,
01:58 triggered by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's
02:01 suggestion of a potential link between Indian government agents
02:04 and the killing of Khalistani terrorist
02:06 Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.
02:08 India has expressed concern over increasing
02:10 anti-India activities in Canada,
02:12 including political support for Khalistani figures.
02:15 India Visa Application Centre Canada, meanwhile, says
02:18 due to operational reasons with effect from 21st September 2023,
02:22 Indian visa services have been suspended till further notice.

02:29 The shadow of the frosty ties is being seen

02:34 Indian nationals and students in Canada, meanwhile,
02:36 have been advised by the Ministry of External Affairs
02:38 to avoid regions and venues in Canada
02:41 where anti-India activities are on the rise.
02:44 Indian students, in particular, were urged to exercise vigilance
02:47 and caution during their stay in the country.
02:50 The ongoing situation highlights growing tensions and concerns
02:53 related to the Khalistan movement in Canada,
02:56 prompting calls for increased security measures
02:58 to protect minority communities and address potential threats.
