Canada: Ministers condemn SFJ video asking Hindus of Indian origin to leave the country
Ministers condemn SFJ video asking Hindus of Indian origin to leave the country
The Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) organization, which supports Khalistan, issued a video on Friday in which it threatens Hindus of Indian descent and asks them to leave Canada. Ministers in the Canadian cabinet denounced the video.
The video was released by the secessionist group two days before to this development.
All Canadians should feel secure in their neighborhoods, according to Dominic LeBlanc, minister of public safety in Canada.
"Every Canadian has a right to feel secure in their neighborhoods. The spreading of an online hate movie directed at Hindu Canadians goes against the principles we as Canadians hold dear. He wrote on his official X (previously Twitter) account, "There is no space for acts of hostility, hate, intimidation, or inciting of terror.
His department released a similar statement, calling the video "offensive and hateful". Harjit Sajjan, the minister of emergency preparedness, made similar remarks to LeBlanc.
"To Hindu Canadians and Indians of all backgrounds: Anyone who claims that you do not deserve to be secure and welcomed in your home does not exemplify the freedom and kindness we hold dear as Canadians. On his official X account, he wrote, "Do not let people delegitimize or question your place and love for Canada.
Canadian Hindus for Harmony, an organization, stated that they demanded harsh punishment for the people responsible for the video and urged the Canadian government to take immediate action.
