A man with a long history of racist organizing including calling for the killing of Muslims and Sikhs has been arrested after a video surfaced of him at a protest in Ontario, calling Sikh temples places that promote “hate” and “terrorism.”

Footage of Ranendra “Ron” Banerjee from the night of November 4, shows him shouting into a megaphone during a march of hundreds of people through the streets of Brampton, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto. 

“The Indian army come here to Canada and storm those fucking temples, “ he yells at a crowd that is heard responding with cheers. “Yeah, come to Canada and storm those fucking Sikh temples.“

“They have no right to have those kinds of temples, they promote hate, they promote terrorism. The Indian army must come to Canada and must storm the Khalistan Sikh temples.”

Other footage from the protest showed a crowd of individuals kicking vehicles attempting to make their way through the filled streets.
