“Deeply Concerned About Safety Of Indians”: Centre On Canada Temple Attack

India on Monday said it “condemns acts of violence perpetrated by extremists and separatists”, referring to an incident at a Hindu temple in Brampton, in the Canadian province of Ontario, last week, and called on Canada to ensure that all places of worship are adequately protected.

“We also expect that those indulging in such violence will be prosecuted,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters Monday at a press briefing.

The Indian government, Mr Jaiswal, said, remains “deeply concerned” about the safety and security of its citizens in that country, and said diplomatic officers providing consular services to Indians “will not be deterred by intimidation, harassment and violence”.
