Indo-Canadian groups oppose demand by NDP MPs to bar Mohan Bhagwat from Canada
Indo-Canadian community counters MPs' call to bar RSS chief Bhagwat from Canada, arguing it risks division and prejudice against Hindus.
The Indo-Canadian community has vehemently opposed NDP MPs Heather McPherson and Jenny Kwan's call to bar RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat from visiting Canada. The MPs argue their language risks "division, not a scheduled address to a diaspora community." The Indo-Canadian groups contend the MPs' accusations of the RSS as an "extremist group" are baseless and "prejudice dressed up as advocacy."
They also question the MPs' allegations and demand "properly tested evidentiary record" to substantiate them. Bhagwat's visit to Canada, his first in over 20 years, is set to take place this month, with a planned public event in Toronto. Security measures are being taken due to potential protests from pro-Khalistan groups.
