Bathinda: The Punjabi community in Brampton, Canada has condemned the incident of putting up posters with hate messages at the door of the home of Brampton city councillor Navjit Kaur Brar.Brar, who represents Wards 2 and 6 and is seeking re-election in the Oct 26 municipal vote, said she found the defaced door five days ago. Black crosses were drawn over her face and those of several Sikh men alongside text reading “No Punjabi, No Islam.”Brar shared a photograph of the vandalised entrance on social media, sparking outrage across the city’s South Asian community.“It’s disheartening to see something like this in our community,” Brar wrote, adding the message targeted volunteers, postal workers and delivery drivers visiting her home.“Safety isn’t just about crime. It’s also about making sure the neighbour feels safe, respected and welcome. There are those who want to divide us… but when times get tough, we don’t turn against each other. We stand together,“ she wrote.
