Amid controversy over the alleged failure of Canadian police to provide proper security to consular camps run by the Indian Embassy, several media reports claimed that the security agency demanded $70,000 from a Hindu group in lieu of security fees. According to reports, Hindu organizations in Canada are angry with the police’s demands in return for security and have accused the government of abusing their civil rights.
The Trudeau government, sitting in the lap of Khalistanis, does not seem to be doing anything special on the attacks on Hindus. At the same time, Canadian police also seems to be putting pressure on the Hindu community. However, nothing has been said officially about this. But on one hand, threats are being received from Khalistani groups and on the other hand, the demand of money in exchange for security by the police has surprised everyone. Amid controversy over the alleged failure of Canadian police to provide proper security to consular camps run by the Indian Embassy, several media reports claimed that the security agency demanded $70,000 from a Hindu group in lieu of security fees.

Media reports claim that the Khalistani group is pressurizing the Canadian police to cancel consular camps run by the Indian Embassy. The report comes nearly three days after the Brampton Triveni Temple in Canada canceled a consular event after Canadian police warned them of an extremely high and imminent threat level of violent protests. The Life Certificate event, organized by the Consulate General of India in Toronto, was scheduled for November 17 at the temple complex. This was part of several camps at the Consulate for issuing life certificates for pension purposes.
Last week, the Consulate General of India in Toronto said it was canceling some of its scheduled consular camps after Canadian security officials expressed their inability to provide minimum security protection to its organizers. Following the protests at the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton on November 3, the Ministry of External Affairs said New Delhi is deeply concerned about the safety of Indian nationals in Canada.
