👉The federal government launched "Canada's Action Plan on Combatting Hate," a $273.6 million initiative over six years to tackle rising hate incidents. Announced by Minister Kamal Khera, the plan focuses on empowering communities, supporting victims, and building institutional readiness. Statistics show hate crimes in Canada rose 32% in 2023, disproportionately affecting Indigenous Peoples, racialized communities, religious minorities, 2SLGBTQI+ individuals, and women. The plan involves multiple government departments and includes Bill C-63, which targets online hate. Attorney General Arif Virani stressed the importance of keeping communities safe from online harms that can lead to real-world consequences.✅ .

👉A statue of Mahatma Gandhi was vandalized in the city of Brampton, Canada, marking the second incident of its kind within a month. The statue, located outside the Indian Consulate, was defaced with orange paint and had the word "racist" written on it. The previous incident occurred in the city of Davis, where a similar statue was toppled and decapitated. The acts of vandalism have sparked outrage among the Indian community in Canada, who have called for stricter measures to protect statues and monuments of cultural significance. Investigations into both incidents are ongoing.✅ . . #MahatmaGandhiStatueVandalism #CanadaVandalism #CulturalHeritageProtection #StopHateCrimes #UnityInDiversity #PeaceAndJustice #IndianDiaspora #StopRacism #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
