Khalistan supporters rip Indian flag apart on India Day parade in Canada
Toronto: Dozens of pro-Khalistan protesters disrupted the India Day Parade in Toronto, , ripping apart the Indian flag and clashing with celebrants and shouting slogans like “go back to India.”
According to Kashmir Media Service, the parade was held at Nathan Phillips Square.
Khalistani supporters ripped apart the Indian flag with knives, and their protest was billed as the “next face-off” after a confrontation in Surrey, BC, on India’s Independence Day. Tensions are rising between pro-India India and Khalistan supporters in Canada.
The Toronto parade was held amid security due to a planned counter-rally by pro-Khalistan groups. The incident has sparked concerns about growing tensions between the two groups in Canada.
Videos shared on social media show the clash between pro-India and anti-India groups, with Khalistani supporters yelling “go back to India” and ripping apart the Indian flag.
