Australia’s Queensland state police have released documents of its investigation into the defacement of a Brisbane temple’s outer wall, which suggest that they are ready to close this matter after getting no more leads from the complainants. They stated that there seemed to be a Hindu hand in the anti-Modi graffiti that was done on the night of 3 Mar, which came to be blamed on pro-Khalistan Sikh elements. Holding that they have no suspects in the case, the investigators proposed that the Hindus defaced their own temple after purposely shutting off the key CCTV cameras and that the serial offender who had done similar desecration in Victoria had then sneaked into Brisbane’s Sikh rally of 4 Mar. Three more Australian temples have been defaced since Jan. After these incidents, PM Modi had thundered on Australian soil and made it an issue of Hindu and Indian pride. He turned it into an issue in Australia-India relations involving Sikhs. There has been no response from the Indian government.
