In another incident of temple vandalism, the Lakshmi Narayan temple in Canada's British Columbia was defaced with posters promoting the Khalistan referendum.

According to a India Today report, miscreants posted posters featuring photos of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the leader of the separatist group Khalistan Tiger Force, who killed by two unidentified men on June 18.

The vandalised temple is one of the largest and oldest Hindu temples in British Columbia.

This is the third incident of temple vandalisation in Canada this year.

On January 31, a prominent Hindu temple in Canada’s Brampton was vandalised with anti-India graffiti. The act caused outrage among the Indian community.

The Mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown, had then condemned the incident of writing hate-filled messages directed towards India on the walls of the temple.

In April this year, another Hindu temple in Canada's Ontario was vandalised with anti-India graffiti. The Windsor Police released CCTV footage showing two suspects spray painting on the walls of the Hindu temple.
