An Indian-origin parliamentarian in Canada has asked the Justin Trudeau-led government to take action against the frequent hate crimes targeting Canadian Hindus in the country.

The statement by Chandra Arya came as a Khalistani group threatened to take its protests to the Hindu Laxmi Narayan temple in Surrey on November 26, just a week after some Khalistani supporters verbally abused a Sikh family outside a gurdwara.

“Last week, Khalistan supporters verbally abused a Sikh family outside a Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, British Colombia, according to some reports. Now it appears the same Khalistan group wants to create trouble at the Hindu Laxmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey,” he wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.
