Diwali festivities in Canada's Brampton turned tumultuous as Khalistani groups reportedly gate-crashed the celebration, throwing stones and causing chaos. Police intervened, labeling it an "internal community fight." A viral video captures the disruption, with concerns escalating. Critics argue against downplaying the incident, asserting it was motivated by religious hatred, not merely a dispute between Sikhs and Hindus. Concurrently, India takes diplomatic action, urging Canada to strengthen measures against attacks on worship places and address hate speech effectively. The incident underscores tensions and raises questions about community safety during cultural celebrations abroad. [ photo courtesy: screengrab from the viral video on X ]
