Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
A user commented: “It is very unfortunate to hear about the attack on Hindus celebrating Diwali in Brampton, Canada. It is also concerning that the Canadian media is downplaying the incident by calling it a 'fight between Sikhs & Hindus'.This attack was clearly motivated by religious hatred.”
Trudeau wishes Indian community
Meanwhile,Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau conveyed warm wishes to the Hindu and Sikh communities in Canada and globally, extending his heartfelt greetings on the occasions of Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas.
"Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas are all about coming together. To everyone we’ve celebrated with in Ottawa, Brampton, and Etobicoke over the past few days, and to everyone celebrating in communities across the country: Happy Diwali! Happy Bandi Chhor Diwas!" Trudeau said in a social media post on X.
Bandi Chhor Diwas is a significant Sikh festival that commemorates the release of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, the sixth Guru of Sikhism, from imprisonment in Gwalior Fort. Translated as "Prisoner Release Day," this celebration typically coincides with the Hindu festival of Diwali but holds unique historical and cultural importance in the Sikh tradition.
Canada hosts a substantial Sikh community, particularly concentrated in provinces like British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta. For over a century, Sikhs have been immigrating to Canada, making noteworthy contributions to the country's cultural, economic, and social dynamics.
