A recent parade organized by Khalistani extremists in Canada has triggered widespread outrage after openly promoting anti-Hindu rhetoric and targeting Indian political leaders. Held in Toronto’s Malton Gurdwara area, the event included a large truck mock-up of a jail carrying effigies of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. The most disturbing aspect, however, was a call made by participants demanding the deportation of 800,000 Hindus to India. A video of the parade has since gone viral on social media, drawing condemnation from Hindu community leaders and international observers. Shawn Binda, a Hindu community leader in Canada, posted the video and described the event as “blatant anti-Hindu hatred” propagated by a Khalistani terrorist group. He reminded the public of the group’s historical connection to Canada’s deadliest terror attack, the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 (Kanishka), which killed 329 people.
Khalistani Clowns asks Canada to deport Hindus to India.
Canada is such a chutiya country bhai. These Khalistanis are involved in almost all illegal activities like drug & weapon smugglings & human trafficking. And yet Canadians tolerate them.

“This isn’t a protest against India’s government. It’s blatant anti-Hindu hatred,” Binda stated, highlighting the threat such rhetoric poses to communal harmony and public safety. Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman also criticized the event, calling Khalistani groups one of the “most hateful foreign-funded menaces to society.” He questioned whether newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government would take a stronger stance on such extremism than that of Justin Trudeau.
The timing of the parade has raised eyebrows, coming just days after Carney’s Liberal Party returned to power in a surprising electoral victory. Many now look to his administration for a policy shift in addressing hate speech and extremist activities. The Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) expressed grave concern, calling it a “shameful day” and warning that the world has seen this kind of targeted hatred before. “Will city, provincial, and national institutions take note? Will human rights groups or the media cover it?” CoHNA asked in a statement.

This parade follows similar Khalistani displays at last month’s Khalsa Day Vaisakhi Parade in Surrey, where “wanted” posters featuring Indian leaders and Khalistan flags were prominently showcased. The incidents reflect a disturbing pattern of open extremism gaining ground in Canadian public spaces.
