Attack on a Hindu temple in Canada: India on Monday expressed its strong disappointment at the violence that occurred at a Hindu temple in Brampton, Canada, declaring itself “deeply disappointed to see such disruptions allowed” during routine consular operations. India expressed concern about the lack of security and questioned “at whose behest such events were being organized in the first place.”

The development comes after Khalistan extremists invaded the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton on November 3, attacking worshipers and vandalizing property during the incident.

According to a statement from the Indian High Commission in Ottawa, similar attempts have been reported across the country. “There were also attempts to disrupt similar camps held in Vancouver and Surrey on November 2 and 3,” the press release said.

India questioned Canada’s security arrangements, saying: “In light of these incidents, and given the continued threats to Indian diplomats and officials…the organization of further consular camps scheduled will depend on the security arrangements made for them by local authorities. »
