A Rath Yatra procession in Toronto, Canada, became the target of an attack when eggs were thrown at the participants. The incident sparked immediate reaction, with the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issuing a strong condemnation. The online community responded with criticism, with many expressing concerns about ‘Hinduphobia.’
Footage of the incident, shared by Sangna Bajaj, showed the remnants of the attack. Bajaj mentioned that the eggs were thrown from a building, but the procession persisted. This event underscores the challenges faced by Hindu communities in Canada, where there have been several reports of similar attacks on temples and religious events. The MEA has confirmed that it is in contact with Canadian authorities to address the issue and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
