The Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton, Canada had suspended the priest who delivered a speech calling for Hindus to stand united after an attack by a Khalistani mob on devotees on Diwali weekend. However, after a review, the temple organisation reinstated him two days later.
The temple organisation said in a statement on November 7 that it hadn't authorised priest Rajinder Parsad to "engage in the activities". The statement also said that the organisation was reinstating him after reviewing the situation.
The Hindu Sabha temple suspended priest Prasad on November 5, two days after his speech at a protest by people of multiple faiths of the Indian community in Canada.
Priest Parsad was seen delivering a speech to the Indo-Canadian community members who had gathered on the temple's premises to protest the attack on devotees inside the temple on November 2-3.
