Attack on a Hindu temple in Canada draws widespread condemnation.
Politicians in Canada have strongly condemned the recent attack on a Hindu temple in Brampton by Khalistani extremists.
Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre said violence targeting any place of worship is unacceptable and pledged to restore stability.
Toronto MP Kevin Vuong accused the country’s leadership of failing to safeguard Hindus, as with Christians and Jews, from radical elements finding a foothold.
MP Chandra Arya lamented a “red line being crossed” with the brazen display, calling for an end to Khalistani violence. Footage showed devotees including women and children being assaulted, prompting swift action.
The Hindu Canadian Foundation sought help through social media as the temple came under attack. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also stated everyone’s right to freely practice religion, a view echoed by others.
While investigations are on, the incident has underscored the need for stricter monitoring and preventing scope for unchecked radicalization.
Politicians presenting a united front in protecting pluralism, and the rule of law offer hope such heinous acts will be curbed going forward.
