Modi Condemns Attack on Brampton Temple

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strongly condemned the violent attack on a Hindu temple in Brampton, Canada, by pro-Khalistani extremists, calling it a deliberate and cowardly act aimed at intimidating Indian diplomats. The Indian government has urged Canada to ensure the protection and safety of places of worship and prosecute those responsible for the violence. The attack has escalated existing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, already strained by allegations regarding India's involvement in targeting Khalistani activists in Canada. Both countries have expelled diplomats and expressed concerns over the safety of their nationals. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has denounced the violence as unacceptable, asserting the right to practice faith freely. The Indian High Commission has criticized the lack of adequate security for the consular camp and emphasized its commitment to continue providing services despite the threats.
