Another temple vandalized in Australia

SYDNEY: The Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple in Australia's Carrum Downs has been vandalised with anti-Hindu graffiti. This has left Australia's Indian-Australian community in shock, The Australia Today reported.

This comes a week after the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Australia's Mill Park was smeared with anti-India and anti-Hindu graffiti. The act came to notice on Monday, January 16 after temple devotees came for 'darshan' amid the three-day long "Thai Pongal" festival which is being celebrated by Australia's Tamil Hindu community.

Usha Senthilnathan a devotee of Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple told The Australia Today, "We are a Tamil minority group in Australia, a lot of us came as refugees to escape the religious persecution."

She urged premier Dan Andrews and Victoria Police to take strict action against the goons who are trying to scare the Victorian Hindu community.

On the evening of January 15 2023, Khalistan supporters tried to draw support for their referendum through a car rally in Melbourne. However, they failed miserably as less than two hundred people gathered out of an almost 60,000-strong Melbourne community, according to The Australia Today.

Hindu Council of Australia's Victoria chapter President Makrand Bhagwat, as quoted by The Australia Today, said: "I can't tell you how upset I am for witnessing a second Hindu Temple vandalised for Khalistan propaganda."

Melbourne Hindu community member Sachin Mahate said: "If these Khalistan supporters have the courage they should go and draw graffiti on the Victorian Parliament building rather than target peaceful Hindu community's religious places." (ANI)
