An Indo-Canadian Parliamentarian Chandrasekhar Arya, who hails from Karnataka, hosted a Diwali party at Parliament Hill. He also hoisted the Hindu flag with the sacred symbol ”Om”.
The celebration which took place on Sunday, saw a number of Indians from Canadian cities like Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and many other places. This event was supported by 67 Hindu and Indo-Canadian organizations across Canada.
The 60 year MP thanked all those who attended the celebrations and also the artists for their excellent cultural performances.
This celebration was held even though bilateral relations between India and Canada are under severe strain following the allegations of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist separatist Hardeep Singh Nijar in the Canadian town of Surrey in June this year.
