On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the “deliberate attack” on a Hindu temple in Brampton, Ontario, characterizing the violence as a “cowardly attempt” to intimidate Indian diplomats in Canada.

Strong Message Against Intimidation

In his statement shared on X, PM Modi remarked, “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.” He urged the Canadian government to take action to ensure justice and maintain the rule of law in response to these incidents.
