Canadian Groups Urge Evidence-Based Decision on RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's Visit
Over 100 Canadian Hindu and civil liberties groups have urged the government to allow RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's visit to Canada, emphasizing decisions on his entry should rely on credible evidence and due process. The groups highlighted Bhagwat's visit's significance to Canada's Hindu community, which exceeds one million people. This support comes amid calls from some MPs and organizations seeking to block his entry over concerns of religious majoritarianism and public safety. The letter stresses Canada's values of multiculturalism and religious freedom in addressing the issue.
