The Swaminarayan Mandir Vasana Sanstha in Newark, California, faced outrage as it was defaced with anti-India and pro-Khalistan graffiti. The Indian consulate in San Francisco strongly condemned the incident, stating it hurt the sentiments of the Indian community. The Hindu American Foundation shared images of the graffiti on social media, calling for a hate crime investigation. Discovered by a devotee on Thursday night, the hateful slogans included references to Khalistani terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Newark police labeled it a 'targeted act' and assured a thorough investigation. India demands prompt action against the vandals, seeking justice for the desecration of the Hindu temple.
