Additionally, concerns were raised regarding the escalating attacks on Hindu and Jain religious sites, as well as individuals. Incidents of vandalism by Khalistan supporters targeting temples, and even the Indian Commercial Consulate, have been reported without any corresponding action against the assailants. #ReligiousFreedom #KhalistanSupporters #Vandalism
