Pro-Khalistan protesters disrupted the India Day Parade in Toronto on August 18, shouting, "Go back to India!" and tearing the Indian flag. The parade, held at Nathan Phillips Square, is one of Canada's largest Independence Day events. A video shared online showed the confrontation between the pro-Khalistan group and parade participants. “The protesters were aggressive, shouting slogans and tearing our flag,” said one attendee. The Indian government has called on Canada to curb such activities, which they say undermine diplomatic relations. Despite the tension, the celebration continued, featuring the “largest Indian flag outside India.”
