The shameful acts of Khalistanis have come to light in America. Here, Khalistanis targeted the Hindu temple. Anti-India slogans were also written on the walls of the temple. Now, India has condemned this attack and has demanded immediate investigation from the American authorities and immediate action against the saboteurs.
Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has also given his reaction regarding the attack on the temple. He said, I saw what happened. There should be no place for such forces of separatism outside India. The embassy there has complained to the police and the government about what has happened. Investigation is ongoing on this.
Actually, this incident happened in Newark, city of California, America. Khalistani supporters attacked the Swaminarayan temple here, and slogans against India and PM Modi were written on the walls with black spray. These pictures of the temple have also been shared by Hindu America Foundation on social media platform X.
The Indian Consulate in San Francisco on Saturday condemned the attack on the Swaminarayan Temple and said that the incident has hurt the sentiments of the Indian community. The embassy has also appealed for speedy investigation into the matter and immediate action against the accused.

In the pictures shared on social media by Hindu America Foundation, it can be seen that anti-India slogans have been written on the wall of the temple. Apart from this, the name of Khalistani terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale has also been written in black ink.
The foundation wrote, the name of Khalistan terrorist Bhindranwale has been written to traumatize temple goers and create fear of violence. Hindu America Foundation has demanded to investigate the matter under hate crime. People associated with the temple have also complained to the police in this matter. However, this is not the first case when a temple has been targeted in this manner in America. Before America, such incidents have also been seen in Canada, UK and Australia.
In the last few months, there have been incidents of targeting of many Hindu temples abroad. Some time ago, Khalistani supporters had put up posters at the gate of the temple in Surrey, Canada. In this, there was talk of avenging the death of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Nijjar was shot dead in the car park of a Gurdwara in Surrey, city of Canada in June this year. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, calling Nijjar a Canadian citizen, had alleged that Indian agents were involved in his murder. India had rejected these allegations. After the murder of Nijjar, Khalistani supporters also took out rallies at many places in Canada.
