A controversial anti-Hindu parade was held at the Malton Gurdwara in Toronto, Canada, drawing sharp criticism for openly calling for the deportation of 800,000 Hindus and promoting what many have described as “blatant hate speech” by Khalistani groups.
Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman shared footage of the parade on Sunday and raised concerns about whether newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney would handle Khalistani extremism differently from his predecessor, Justin Trudeau. In a post on X, Bordman remarked, “The Khalistanis are giving [jihadis] a good run for their money on most hateful foreign-funded menace to society. Will Mark Carney’s Canada be any different from Justin Trudeau’s?”
The video, originally posted by user Shawn Binda, shows members of a pro-Khalistan group at the Malton Gurdwara demanding the removal of Hindus from Canada. Binda condemned the demonstration, writing, “K-Gang at Malton Gurdwara (Toronto) shamelessly demands 800,000 Hindus…be deported to ‘Hindustan.’ This isn’t a protest against India’s government; it’s blatant anti-Hindu hatred from a Khalistani terrorist group, notorious for Canada’s deadliest attack, yet arrogantly claiming the right to stay.”
The parade comes just days after Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s new Prime Minister following an early federal election that saw the resignation of Justin Trudeau. The incident has intensified debate over Canada’s handling of extremism and religiously motivated hate crimes.
This isn’t the first time Canada has seen anti-Hindu acts linked to Khalistani groups. In April, Bordman reported a third vandalism incident at the Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey, British Columbia. The temple was defaced with pro-Khalistan graffiti, and a security camera was allegedly stolen. Bordman expressed concern over how the situation was handled, noting that the graffiti was removed before police arrived, raising questions about the integrity of the investigation.
“Several devotees were quite upset. They don’t feel like the police or the political establishment cares at all,” Bordman said after visiting the site.
The repeated targeting of Hindu temples and communities in Canada has sparked growing concern among diaspora groups and prompted calls for stronger action against hate-driven extremism.
