After Khalistani separatists attacked devotees at Hindu Sabha Mandir in Canada's Brampton, an eyewitness Mahavir said, "We were fearful they wanted to destroy the [55-ft-high] Hanuman statue...We believe that was the target." Another eyewitness said, "We had to defend ourselves since the police could not control them." A clip shows policemen pushing and beating up Hindus at the site.
