Sydney, Dated, January 23, 2023, Monday

An attack on a Hindu temple has once again come to light in Australia. This is the third temple attack in Melbourne in 15 days. Just 5 days after Khalistan supporters attacked the temple on January 12, another temple was attacked.

Earlier on January 17, Swaminarayan temple was also attacked

Khalistan supporters continue to target Hindu temples in Melbourne. Earlier on January 17, there was an attack on the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple in Melbourne itself. However, according to the latest incident, a Hindu temple has been vandalized in Melbourne's Albert Park. Slogans in support of Khalistan are written on the walls of the temple.

Such vandalism by #Khalistan supporters will only harm Sikhism.
I know a few #Sikh families in #Australia whose young generation have already cut their hair & do not wear turban, due to such madness.
Same will happen in #Canada
Respective #Police Authorities need to take action. pic.twitter.com/stA3VOQNec

This morning the temple management said that the temple was vandalized

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Temple, also known as the Hare Krishna Temple, is a well-known center of the Bhakti Yoga movement in Melbourne. On Monday morning, the temple management said that the temple was vandalized and slogans like "Khalistan Zindabad", "Hindustan Murdabad" were also written on the walls.

Australian police failed to act

ISKCON Mandir Communications Director Bhakta Das said, “We are shocked and outraged by this blatant disregard for the dignity of the place of worship. IT consultant and ISKCON temple devotee Shivesh Pandey said that in the last two weeks, the Victoria Police has failed to take any decisive action against those who are pursuing their hate agenda against the peaceful Hindu community.
