After the temples, the Indian Embassy in Brisbane was targeted, hoisted the Khalistani flag

Melbourne (Best Hindu News): External Affairs Minister S. Days after Jaishankar’s visit to Australia, Hindu temples were vandalized and a Khalistani flag was displayed near the Indian consulate in Brisbane. According to The Australia Today, India’s Consul General in Brisbane, Archana Singh, found a Khalistan flag near her office on 22 February. Archana Singh, who immediately informed the Queensland Police about the incident, said, “Police are monitoring the area to keep us safe.” We have full faith in the police officers.

The incident, which took place on February 21, comes just days after two Hindu temples received threat calls from Khalistani supporters. On a phone call, the president and vice president of the Gayatri Mandir in Brisbane were asked to raise slogans of ‘Khalistan Zindabad’ and support the referendum. Earlier, Kali Mata Temple in Melbourne received a threat call this week, asking it to cancel the religious event or face the consequences.

In early 2023, Hindu temples in Australia and Canada have seen a spurt in vandal attacks by Khalistani elements defacing walls with anti-India slogans and offensive images. Three major Hindu temples were targeted in Melbourne between 12 and 23 January.

Indians in Australia said that they are angered, scared and dismayed by the open display of religious hatred against the peaceful Hindu community by Khalistan supporters. According to census data, Hinduism is the fastest growing religion in Australia. In the 2021 Australian Census, Hinduism will increase by 55.3 percent to 684,002.
