Canada ke do New Democratic Party MPs Heather McPherson aur Jenny Kwan ne hukumat se Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) par pabandi lagane aur RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat ko Canada mein dakhil hone se rokne ka mutalba kiya hai. Dono MPs ne Public Safety, Immigration aur Foreign Affairs ministers ko khat likh kar Bhagwat ki entry rokne ki appeal ki.
MPs ne kaha ke Bhagwat ka Canada mein hona “social disorder” ka sabab ban sakta hai. Unhon ne Bhagwat ke khilaf hate speech, mazhabi aqalliyaton ke khilaf tashaddud ki himayat, India aur Canada mein critics ko target karne aur criminal aur listed terrorist organisations se talluq ke ilzamat ka hawala diya. Unka kehna hai ke Canada mein RSS ke asar-o-rasookh ke “considerable evidence” maujood hain aur Muslim, Sikh, Dalit aur doosri aqalliyaton ko intimidation aur violent threats ka samna raha hai.
Mohan Bhagwat 31 August se 1 September tak global outreach tour ke silsile mein Canada ka daura karne wale hain. MPs ne UN human rights experts ke us concern ka bhi hawala diya jisme Canada se Sikh community ko Hindutva extremist groups, including RSS, ki taraf se violent threats se mehfooz rakhne ko kaha gaya tha. Alag se 40 se zyada Canadian civil society aur faith-based organisations ne bhi Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree se Bhagwat ki entry rokne ka mutalba kiya hai. In organisations mein Canadian Forum for Human Rights and Democracy in India, Canadian Council of Indian Muslims, Canadians for Indian Democracy, South Asian Dalit Adivasi Network, World Sikh Organization aur Canadian Council of Muslim Women shamil hain.
