Ottawa: Triveni Temple in Brampton, Canada has canceled plans for a proposed business camp in India. Because there is still the threat of attacks on Hindu temples. In this regard, Canadian police also warned them that the risk of violent protests is “extremely high and imminent.” The life certificate course organized by the Consulate General of India in Toronto will be held at the temple on November 17. But now this plan has been cancelled.
The program is part of a series of camps organized by the consulate to issue life certificates for pensions. On Monday, temple officials said the event was canceled “because official intelligence from Peel Regional Police indicates that the risk of violent protest is extremely high and imminent.” “We had to make the appropriate decision to cancel the event to ensure the safety of Brampton Triveni Temple devotees, community visitors and the public,” temple officials said in a statement.
Plans canceled after threats of violence
Temple authorities are urging Peel police to address threats against the temple and keep Canada’s Hindu community and the public safe. Nearly a week ago, protesters carrying Khalistan flags scuffled with devotees at a Hindu temple, disrupting an event jointly organized by temple authorities and the Indian consulate in Brampton. Last week, the Indian Consulate General in Toronto said it would cancel some of its scheduled commercial camps after Canadian security officials said they were unable to provide minimum security to its organizers.
