A recent attack on a Hindu temple in Canada has raised concerns, with allegations that security requests from the Indian consulate were intentionally ignored. The incident saw protesters clash with attendees at the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton.

Vishva Hindu Parishad International President Alok Kumar highlighted the repeated nature of such attacks, mentioning previous incidents in the Greater Toronto Area and British Columbia. His criticism extended to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling for strong measures to ensure the security of the country’s Hindu temples.

Trudeau responded by condemning the violence and thanking Peel Regional Police for their quick action. As tensions rise, the call for the protection of religious communities is more pressing than ever.
