Still threat of attack in Canada, Hindu temple cancels consulate-related event

Ottawa: Brampton Triveni Temple, Canada has canceled the proposed Indian Business Camp program. Because there is still a threat of attack on Hindu temples. In this regard, the Canadian police also warned them of the “extremely high and imminent” risk of violent protests. The life certificate program organized by the Consulate General of India in Toronto was scheduled to be held on November 17 at the temple premises. But now this program has been cancelled.

The program was part of a series of camps organized by the consulate to issue life certificates for pension purposes. On Monday, temple officials said the event was canceled “due to official information from Peel Regional Police indicating an extremely high and imminent risk of violent protests”. “To ensure the safety of Brampton Triveni Temple devotees, community visitors and the general public, we had to take the right decision to cancel the event,” temple officials said in a statement.

The program was canceled after threats of violence

The temple authorities requested the Peel police to remove the threats being spread against the temple and ensure the safety of the Canadian Hindu community and the general public. The cancellation comes nearly a week after protesters carrying Khalistani flags clashed with devotees at the Hindu Sabha temple and disrupted an event jointly organized by temple authorities and the Indian consulate in Brampton. Last week, the Consulate General of India in Toronto said it was canceling some of its scheduled trade camps after Canadian security officials indicated an inability to provide minimum security to its organizers.
