Vijay’s Sherawali Temple in Hayward, California, becomes the latest target of vandalism with pro-Khalistan graffiti, just weeks after the Swaminarayan Mandir in the same state was similarly defaced. The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) is actively engaged with temple leaders, Alameda Police, and the Civil Rights Division. The incident follows a pattern of attacks in the Bay Area, with the HAF citing a copycat defacement after the Swaminarayan Mandir incident and a recent theft at the Shiv Durga temple. The US State Department condemned the earlier vandalism, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed concern, urging a thorough inquiry.
