On Thursday, BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in California was vandalized and desecrated with “anti-Hindu” information like” Hindus come back.” This comes just ten weeks after the Indian consulate’s decency condemned the destruction of a church in New York.
” Less than 10 weeks after the destruction of the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Melville, New York, our Temple ( Hindu place of worship ) in Sacramento, California was desecrated and vandalized with hateful emails”, BAPS, a non-profit” Hindu” company said in a speech.
” Our criticism of hate remains decisive, our grief has just deepened, and our prayers for all, including those with love in their soul, have grown stronger”, it added.
Ami Bera, who represents Sacramenta County in the US House, criticized the affair and demanded that the people take a stand against hatred.
There is no place for religious bigotry and hatred in# SacramentoCounty. I vehemently oppose this ostensible theft in our neighborhood. All of us may have against hatred and guarantee that everyone in our area, regardless of faith, feels secure and respected, “he said in a blog on X.
In response, the Hindu American Foundation wrote to the Senate Judiciary Committee, citing new data from the FBI and the State of California, detailing the “historical and alarming increase of anti-Hindu dislike, especially against Hindu places of worship.”
It likewise condemned the affair saying” We stand with @BAPS_PubAffairs and require justice. It is unethical that Hindu temples are the target of anti-Indian and anti-Hindu areas.
Following the theft of the BAPS Sri Swami Narayan Mandir in Melville, Long Island, New York Congressman Tom Suozzi earlier this month condemned love crimes. The event involved graffiti that displayed” horrible love and prejudice” towards the Hindu area.
He had claimed that criminals vilified and bigoted the Hindu area at the BAPS Sri Swami Narayan Mandir on Long area later on Sunday nights.
