A controversial anti-Hindu parade at Malton Gurdwara in Toronto has ignited widespread condemnation, with questions being raised whether newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney will take a firmer stance against Khalistani extremism than his predecessor, ANI reported.

In a video shared on X on Sunday (4 May), Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman remarked, "The Jihadis rampaging through our streets have done significant damage to the social fabric running around threatening any Jews they can find. But the Khalistanis are giving them a good run for their money on the most hateful foreign-funded menace to society. Will Mark Carney's Canada be any different from Justin Trudeau's?"

The video was in response to a post by a user named Shawn Binda, who stated, "K-Gang at Malton Gurdwara (Toronto) shamelessly demands 800,000 Hindus—whose vibrant communities span Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica, South Africa, Netherlands, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Kenya, and beyond—be deported to 'Hindustan'. This isn't a protest against India's government; it's blatant anti-Hindu hatred from a Khalistani terrorist group, notorious for Canada's deadliest attack, yet arrogantly claiming the right to stay."

The timing of this incident has sharpened focus on Carney’s leadership, coming just days after his Liberal Party’s election victory and Trudeau’s resignation amid internal dissent.

Critics are now urging the new Prime Minister to address the growing concerns around extremist elements operating within Canada.

Earlier in April, Bordman drew attention to repeated attacks on Hindu temples in British Columbia.

Visiting the Lakshmi Narayan Temple in Surrey after its third reported vandalism, he said, "I saw when I got there that the vandalism had already been covered up... I spoke with some of the devotees and management. I don't quite understand why they decided to just remove graffiti before the Police came... several devotees were quite upset..."
