‘Hindus are a global minority’: Pawan Kalyan blasts ‘peace-loving’ NGOs after attack on temples in Canada and Bangladesh

In a strong rebuke of what he called “selective anger” and “deafening silence”, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan accused global voices and organizations of failing to condemn recent attacks on Hindu communities, including vandalism of a Hindu temple in Canada. He criticized “peace-loving” NGOs and global leaders who consistently ignore attacks on Hindus around the world, especially in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, where the Hindu minority faces increasing persecution.

“Hindus are a global minority and as such they receive little attention, little solidarity and are easily targeted,” Kalyan said in a passionate tweet. he said. Citing reports of violence and persecution of Hindus in various countries, he highlighted the suffering of Hindu communities “left alone to face this injustice”.

The Deputy Prime Minister’s remarks come amid growing concerns about the safety of Hindus in Canada, where protesters carrying Khalistani flags reportedly disrupted a Hindu religious gathering at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton on Sunday. Referring to the incident, Kalyan said: “Today’s attack on a Hindu temple and Hindus in Canada strikes at the heart, igniting both pain and alarm. I fervently hope that the Canadian government takes immediate and decisive action to ensure safe and secure life.” “There is a conducive environment for the Hindu community there.”

Pointing to the recent wave of anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh following Sheikh Hasina’s sudden quarrel, Kalyan argued that this was far from an isolated case. Reports from Bangladesh highlighted targeted attacks on Hindu temples, homes and businesses, raising concerns about the safety of Hindus in the neighboring country.

He said acts of violence and targeted hatred against Hindus continue in various countries, but despite this, “the silence of global leaders, international organizations and so-called ‘peace-loving’ NGOs is deafening.” “Where are the voices of anger? Where is the solidarity of Hindus? Why are we left alone in the face of this injustice?” he asked.

Kalyan concluded his statement with a call to action for global communities to address the persecution of Hindus with the same urgency applied to other groups. “This is not just a plea for compassion, but a call to action. A call to the world to acknowledge and address the suffering of Hindus with the same urgency and determination that it offers to others. Humanity cannot afford selective compassion – let’s unite, let’s stand together, To any community, unwavering resolve against oppression anywhere.”

On Tuesday, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar called the attack “deeply concerning” and said it in a way speaks to the “political space” given to “extremist forces” in Canada. Speaking at a joint press conference with her Australian counterpart Penny Wong, Wong accused Ottawa of developing a “pattern of making allegations without providing details”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also condemned the “deliberate attack” on the Hindu temple and called on Canadian authorities to uphold the rule of law. Emphasizing India’s justice and security expectations, Modi said, “Cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats are equally appalling. Such acts of violence will never weaken India’s resolve.”
