India Condemns Attack on Hindu Temple in Canada
The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has condemned a deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. The incident occurred outside the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton, where a group of men, allegedly affiliated with pro-Khalistani groups, attacked devotees with sticks. This violent act has been widely condemned by the Indian government, with the High Commission of India in Ottawa stating that "violent disruption" was observed. The incident has further strained relations between Canada and India, which had already deteriorated following Ottawa's accusations of Indian government involvement in the killing of a Canadian citizen. Prime Minister Modi has also addressed the incident, stating that it will not weaken India's resolve. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
The acts of violence at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today are unacceptable. Every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely.
It is deeply disappointing to see such disruptions being allowed for routine consular work being organized by our Consulates with the fullest cooperation of local co-organizers. We also remain very concerned for the safety of applicants, including Indian nationals, on whose demand such events are organized in the first place.
We also expect that those indulging in violence will be prosecuted.
Equally appalling are the cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats.
Such acts of violence will never weaken India's resolve. We expect the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law.
I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada.
