A video showing some people quarrelling inside what seems like a gurudwara, is doing the rounds on social media. It is being claimed that the video shows the power struggle within a minority community in Canada.
A user shared the post with a caption, ‘कनाडाई प्रधानमंत्री जस्टिन ट्रुडो भारत में खालिस्तानियों को समर्थन दे रहा है। अब कनाडा में ही गुरुद्वारों की सत्ता के लिये सिखों में आपस में संघर्ष शुरू हो गए हैं। जल्दी ही ये सारे कनाडा में दिखेगा। जो दूसरों के लिये गड्ढा खोदता है …….’
(Translation- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is supporting Khalistanis in India. Now power struggles among the Sikhs have started for the power of Gurdwaras in Canada itself. Soon it will be seen all over Canada. Who digs a pit for others)
