Hindu temple vandalised in Canada; police describes it as ‘hate-motivated incident’

[ad_1]
Toronto: A prominent Hindu temple in Canada’s Ontario province has been vandalised by unknown people with “anti-Hindu and anti-India graffiti”, in what is described by police as a “hate-motivated incident.”
In a statement, the police in Ontario’s Windsor city said on Wednesday that it has launched an investigation into the incident and looking for two suspects.
The High Commission of India in Ottawa, Canada has strongly condemned the act of vandalism.

“We have taken up with the Canadian authorities the hateful act of putting anti India graffiti on the walls of BAPS Swaminarayan temple in Windsor. We strongly condemn this act of vandalism,” the mission said in a tweet.
The Windsor Police Service said officers were dispatched to the Hindu temple in the 1700 block of the Northway Avenue following a report of hate-motivated vandalism on Wednesday.
“Officers discovered anti-Hindu and anti-India graffiti sprayed in black on an exterior wall of the building,” the police said in a statement.
The Windsor Police Service was investigating vandalism at the temple “as a hate-motivated incident,” the statement said.
Through investigation, officers obtained a video that shows two suspects in the area just after 12 a.m. In the video, one suspect appears to commit the vandalism on the wall of the building while the other keeps watch, it said.

At the time of the incident, one suspect wore a black sweater, black pants with a small white logo on the left leg, and black and white high-top running shoes.
The second suspect wore black pants, a sweatshirt black shoes, and white socks.Police asked residents in the immediate vicinity of the temple to check their home surveillance or dashcam video footage for evidence of the suspects.
In January, the Gauri Shankar temple in Brampton was targeted with anti-India graffiti, causing an outrage among the Indian community.
The Indian Consulate General in Toronto had said the defacing of the temple had deeply hurt the sentiments of the Indian community in Canada.
At least three similar acts of vandalism have been recorded in Canada last year.
Last September, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement condemning the rise of hate crimes against Indians and anti-India activities in Canada, expressing their concern with stern language.
Statistics Canada reported a 72 per cent increase in hate crimes based on religion, sexual orientation, and race between 2019 and 2021.
This has led to increased fears among minority communities, particularly the Indian community, which is the fastest-growing demographic group in Canada, accounting for almost four per cent of the population.

UP BJP to invoke ‘guesthouse incident’ to woo Dalit voters

[ad_1]
Lucknow: In the run-up to next year’s Lok Sabha elections, the ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh is set to invoke the infamous “guesthouse incident” of 1995 to woo Dalits.
The UP BJP’s Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Morcha will run a three-week statewide campaign starting on Ambedkar Jayanti (April 14) to remind the Dalit community how BJP members “rescued” Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati from workers of Samajwadi Party that day.
The incident led to years of bitterness between Mayawati and the SP, and the BSP supremo even mentioned the 1995 episode recently in response to overtures made by SP president Akhilesh Yadav to the Dalit community.

In 1995, SP workers reportedly laid siege to the state guesthouse in Lucknow, when Mayawati was holding a meeting with her party MLAs in a room after indications from her that the BSP was quitting the alliance with the SP. BJP leader Brahmadutt Dwivedi is believed to have protected Mayawati from SP workers who had reportedly gone on the rampage.
“We will start a campaign on the birth anniversary of Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar on April 14 and tell Dalits how BJP members rescued Mayawati from SP workers during the guesthouse incident. This campaign will continue till May 5,” UP BJP Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Morcha chief Ram Chandra Kanojia said on Wednesday.
“During the incident in 1995, our leader Brahmadutt Dwivedi reached the spot and rescued Mayawati,” he told PTI.
The BJP’s move comes after an important meeting of BSP held in Lucknow on April 2-3 and SP chief Yadav unveiling the statue of BSP founder Kanshi Ram in Rae Bareli on Monday.
Opposition parties have said that instead of starting this campaign, the ruling party should work to stop the atrocities against Dalits in the state.

SP’s national general secretary Swami Prasad Maurya took a jibe at the BJP’s proposed campaign, saying, “In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, SP and BSP have forgotten all the previous things and entered into an alliance. Now, what does the BJP want to achieve by digging up dead bodies.”
He alleged, “No reservation is being given in recruitments. If the BJP is such a well-wisher of Dalits and OBCs then why it is playing with the reservation.”
Congress spokesperson Surendra Rajput said that instead of running such a campaign, the BJP should stop the atrocities on Dalits.
“A Dalit girl was raped in Hathras and after her death, her body was forcibly cremated by the administration,” he said, in a reference to allegations over an incident that took place in 2020.
“Apart from this, there have been many incidents of atrocities against Dalits in Lakhimpur Kheri, Gonda and Banda, but the BJP never talks about them,” Rajput alleged.

[ad_1]
Dhaka: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of Bangladesh has termed last week’s attack on the Ahmadiyya community in Panchagarh district as “abominable” and demanded punishment for the attackers.
On March 3, at least two people died and 30 others were injured in an attack led by an angry mob of several Islamist organisation leaders against the community.
Of the 100 persons injured, there were nine policemen and two journalists. More than 30 houses belonging to the Ahmadiyya community members as well as a traffic police office were also set ablaze during the attack.
Two educational institutions -Ahmednagar Government Primary School and Ahmednagar High School- were also attacked.
As many as 17 platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) were deployed in Panchagarh to main law and order.
In a statement, the NHRC also directed Panchagarh deputy commissioner to investigate whether law enforcers were negligent in their duties during the violence and asked the district superintendent of police to take effective measures to prevent further attacks.
Meanwhile, Abdul Latif Miah, officer-in-charge (OC) of Panchagarh Police Station, said three cases were filed on Sunday and they have already arrested 23 people in connection with the violence.
Of the cases, one was filed by Osman Ali, a member of the Ahmadiyya community, accusing around 400 unnamed people.

The other two cases were filed by the police, accusing 27 named and over 6,600 unnamed people, the OC added.
Speaking to IANS on Monday, SM Sirajul Huda, Panchagarh Superintendent of Police (SP) that the situation is under control, adding that police, BGB and RAB have been deployed at different points.

Due to the violence, the program had to be postponed.
On Sunday, Railways Minister Md Nurul Islam Sujan, also a lawmaker of Panchagarh-2, alleged that members of the Jamaat-Shibir, the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islam, carried out the attack to destabilize the country.
On the other hand, Jamaat-e-Islami in a statement demanded that the government declare the Ahmadiyyas “non-Muslim”.
