Sikh NGO , United Sikhs has claimed that Khalsa Community School at Maitland Street in Brampton, Ontario, Canada was vandalized as the school was sprayed with 'KKK' and the swastika signs.
Director, United Sikhs, Sukhwinder Singh told TOI on Thursday that "I am in pain to see such growing incidents in Canada. Hatred doesn't cease by hatred. Sikhs have lived in Canada for years and are one of the major contributors to its economy. Sikhs with other communities celebrated Canada Day on July 1st in a grand style.
This incident indicates that there is still a strong need for Multifaith interaction between communities and there is a lot of work to do." Brampton had the largest population of South Asians, consisting of approximately 35% of the total population of the city he said while adding that United Sikhs condemns this act of hatred and mischief and will resist any such attempt by way of education and bringing awareness into the communities through multifaith activties.
NGO's legal advisor advocate Deepinder Singh had appealed to the community to remain peaceful and not to react and let the police do their work to assess the incident. "Brampton is known to be a very peaceful city and for its friendly multicultural population" he said.
