Patrick Brown, the mayor of the Canadian city of Brampton, faced an unpleasant experience at a local Hindu temple recently as he was reportedly heckled by the Hindu community for allegedly allowing ‘anti-India elements’ to conduct their ‘Khalistan Referendum’.
According to Canada’s TAG TV, the mayor was asked by the diaspora to remove banners that gave hateful messages against the Hindus from all over the city. It said the banners displayed messages such as “Sikh infants burnt alive by Hindu mobs”.
This is the condition of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada where Sikh extremists are openly defaming Hindus and the Canadian govt, Mayor of Brampton and all the politicians have surrendered to them. No wonder if there is a growth in hate crime against Hindus and these Hindu Mobs (1/3) pic.twitter.com/rrVjxeiLRg

In October, 400-500 people clashed in the Malton area of the city of Mississauga during the Diwali celebrations, a video of which went viral on social media.
On Sunday (6), pro-Khalistani activists held the second phase of the ‘Khalistan Referendum’ which was announced by the Sikhs For Justice outfit. The first phase was held on September 18.
India had also asked Canada to stop the so-called referenda in Ontario.
The Canadian government told India that it will not recognise the ‘Khalistan’ referendum of November 6, India’s ministry of external affairs said on Thursday (3).
Pro-Khalistani news sources said the voting opened at 9 am local time under the supervision of the Punjab Referendum Commission and Sikh men and women from Greater Toronto Area (GTA) queued up from early in the morning to cast their votes at the Paul Coffey Arena in Mississauga — a facility owned and operated by the Canadian government, India Today reported.
