A controversial parade took place at the Malton Gurdwara in Toronto, where anti-Hindu slogans were raised, and calls were made for members of the community to be deported to India. This incident has sparked debate about whether things will change in Canada under Mark Carney, who has returned to office after the elections, compared to the previous administration under Justin Trudeau. The protest was led by Khalistani supporters, and videos circulating online show caged effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar being displayed during the event.

On Sunday (local time), Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman stated that jihadis are “rampaging through our streets,” targeting Jews and seriously harming the social fabric. “But the Khalistanis are giving them a good run for their money on the most hateful foreign-funded menace to society. Will Mark Carney’s Canada be any different from Justin Trudeau’s?" Bordman questioned. 

Daniel Bordman  was responding to an X post by a user named Shawn Binda, who claimed that the Khalistani terrorist group organised the protest due to “anti-Hindu hatred.” “K-Gang at Malton Gurdwara (Toronto) shamelessly demands 800,000 Hindus–whose vibrant communities span Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica, South Africa, Netherlands, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Kenya, and beyond–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. #KhalistaniTerrorism," Binda shared a post on X.

The anti-Hindu parade in Toronto occurred shortly after Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney and his ruling Liberal Party won the national elections. The election was called earlier than expected after Carney dissolved Parliament in order to secure a new mandate. He had taken over from Justin Trudeau, who resigned towards the end of his term due to waning support within his party.
