PM Modi Calls Out Cowardly Attack on Hindu Temple in Canada

PM Modi Condemns Hindu Temple Attack

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday condemned the recent deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Brampton, Ontario, calling the violence a cowardly attempt to intimidate Indian diplomats. "I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. 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," he stated, expressing concern over the ongoing violence against Indians by pro-Khalistani supporters in Canada.

Government's Response and Call for Justice

The remarks followed a statement from the Ministry of External Affairs, which condemned violence perpetrated by extremists. Spokesperson Randir Jaiswal emphasized that all places of worship must be protected from such attacks. Protesters carrying Khalistani flags clashed with attendees of the Hindu Sabha temple, leading to violent encounters caught on social media. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also condemned the violence, affirming that every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely.

Community Safety and Stronger Relations

• Community Security: Both leaders stress the importance of protecting places of worship.
• Violence Rejection: All forms of violence against faith are unacceptable.
• Strengthening Ties: Calls for justice may help restore diplomatic relations.
