Melbourne: Another Hindu temple vandalised by Khalistan supporters in Australia |

After a week of vandalisation of a Hindu temple in Australia, another temple in Melbourne was vandalised by the Khalistan supporters on Tuesday.

According to a report in Australia Today, the vandalism of the historic Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple in Carrum Downs was allegedly done by the miscreants. Anti-India and anti-Hindu graffiti was painted near the temple premises during vandalisation.

Earlier on Jan 12, Khalistan supporters allegedly attacked and vandalized a Hindu temple in Melbourne, Australia. The BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Melbourne's northern suburb of Mill Park had unsightly pictures painted on its walls.

BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir spoke about the vandalisation

We are very disturbed and shocked by these acts of destruction and hatred, the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir said in a statement to The Australia Today. The statement continued, "We send our prayers for peace and harmony and will issue a more comprehensive response when appropriate."

Condemning the attack, BAPS Swaminarayan temple said, “We are deeply saddened and shocked by these acts of vandalism and hate. We offer our prayers for peace and harmony and will provide a fuller statement in due course." 

“This vandalism is deeply distressing for Victoria’s peaceful Hindu community, especially at this holy time," The Australia Today quoted Evan Mulholland, Liberal MP for the Northern Metropolitan Region.
