Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday condemned the attack on Hindu worshipers at a temple in Brampton, saying the acts of violence are unacceptable. On Sunday, a group of devotees at the Hindu Sabha Mandir were targeted by suspected Khalistan supporters, sparking outrage.

Trudeau said: “The acts of violence committed today at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton are unacceptable. Every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely. He thanked police for “responding quickly to protect the community and investigate this incident.”

Video footage of the incident, widely shared online by numerous sources including a Canadian MP, shows several men attacking worshipers with sticks outside the temple.
