Melbourne: A prominent Hindu temple in Brisbane was vandalised by Pro-Khalistan activists on Saturday in a fresh case of vandalism of Hindu temples in Australia, which took place at the Sri Lakshmi Narayan Temple in Brisbane.
“The temple priest and devotees called this morning and informed me about the damage to the boundary wall of the temple,” Satinder Shukla, the temple’s president, was quoted as saying on the Australia Today website.
“We have informed Queensland police authorities and they have assured to ensure the safety of the temple and devotees,” he said.
Sarah Gates, director of Hindu Human Rights, said the latest vandalism was an attempt to terrorise Australian Hindus.
“This latest incident is a pattern of “Sikhs for Justice” globally, which is clearly an attempt to terrorise Australian Hindus. This organisation (pro-Khalistani) is indulging in propaganda, cyberbullying as well as intimidation,” he said.
