The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Chino Hills, California, was vandalized with anti-India graffiti, including messages like "Hindus go back," alarming the local Hindu community. This incident precedes a scheduled 'Khalistan referendum' event in Los Angeles, raising concerns about escalating religious tensions. BAPS Public Affairs condemned the act, emphasizing unity and resilience against hate, stating, "We will never let hate take root." The Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) also denounced the vandalism, highlighting the recurrence of such attacks and urging authorities to investigate. Notably, similar incidents occurred last year, including vandalism at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Sacramento. Local law enforcement has yet to issue an official statement regarding the recent incident.
