Justin Trudeau (“@JustinTrudeau“) tweeted the picture with the caption “When we see or hear hateful language and imagery, we must condemn it. The display of a swastika by an individual on Parliament Hill is unacceptable. Canadians have the right to assemble peacefully – but we cannot tolerate antisemitism, Islamophobia, or hate of any kind.”

What is the Actual Reality About this Incident? : Fact

He called Hakenkreuz “Swastika” in a tweet misleadingly. Hakenkreuz is not the same as Swastika. In Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism, the symbol Swastika represents divinity and spirituality. The German Nazi party’s emblem, the Hakenkreuz, is a symbol that resembles a hooked cross with four equal arms bent 45 degrees clockwise.

We visited NDTV, which published an article on the same incident on March 3, 2022 with the headline “Indian-Origin MP Urges Canada To Distinguish Between Swastika, Nazi Symbol”.
