After the violent incident at a Brampton temple, Canadian MP Chandra Arya has criticized efforts by politicians to frame Hindus and Sikhs as adversaries. Arya asserts that the division lies between Khalistanis and the collective communities of Hindu-Canadians and Sikh-Canadians.

Arya argues that some Canadian politicians have misled the public by equating Khalistanis with Sikhs, distorting the narrative of the event as a conflict between Hindu and Sikh communities. He insists that political interests are attempting to exploit these communities for political gains.

Tensions between India and Canada continue, especially after allegations regarding Indian agents' involvement in an extremist's death. Arya, highlighting community leaders' sentiments like those of Ujjal Dosanjh, calls for educating Canadians about the unity of Hindus and Sikhs against Khalistani extremism.
