On 12 August, the Indian Consulate in Chicago was looking for a “quick action” into a “punishable” act concerning the desecration of the main sign of the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple in Greenwood, Indiana.
He said that the Consul General urged the devotees, including the mayor of Greenwood for cohesion, solidarity and vigilance against Miscreants in the temple.
“DESECRATION OF MAIN Signboard of the Baps Swaminarayan Temple in Greenwood, Indiana is the rehensible. The consort is in touch with the Community and Has Raised the Matter with Law Enforcement Authorities for Prompt. Including Hon’ble Mayor of Greenwood, Calling for Unity & Solidarity, and Vigilance Against Miscreants there, ”The Indian Conslate Said.
A total of three incidents took place in the US this year, Hindus from North America (Cohna) said. This happened at midnight on August 10 and in front of Krishna Janmashtami on August 16. Miscreants used a spray color to write hate messages on the key brand of the temple.
The BAPS volunteer informed Indystar that graffiti were “a message of hate and intolerance to Hindy” that was removed after the Greenwood police department learned of the incident.
Cohna said: “For a minority Hindu community in the US, freedom of religion feels as an increasingly hollow promise. When our places are attacked by impunity where the Hindu is religious, for spiritual consolation and for the community? It is time for lawyers and leaders of law throughout the country.
Earlier incident
The Hindu temple in South California was vandalized by graffiti, which included anti-Indian and anti-indicial government remarks.
The incident that occurred in March this year was caused by the convictions of the Ministry for External Affairs in India looking for an action against the perpetrators.
“We condemn such contemptable acts in the strongest possible conditions. We call on local law enforcement authorities to take strict steps against responsible and ensure reasonable security for worship,” said Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal.
