A Rath Yatra procession in Toronto was targeted in an act of aggression, with eggs thrown at the participants. The incident prompted a strong response from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), which condemned the act. Public sentiment on social media reflected widespread disapproval, with many users labeling it as an act of ‘Hinduphobia’.
A video posted by Sangna Bajaj showed the scene after the attack. She explained that the eggs were thrown from a nearby building, yet the devotees continued their procession. This incident is part of a larger pattern of attacks against the Hindu community in Canada, which has seen multiple instances of vandalism and interference with religious events. The MEA has reported that it has taken up the matter with Canadian authorities, seeking accountability for the perpetrators.
