New Delhi: After the Ministry of External Affairs and PM Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has also strongly condemned the attack by Khalistan supporters on the Hindu Sabha temple in Canada and said that this incident shows how much political space is given to extremists in Canada. Jaishankar said this after bilateral talks with Foreign Minister Penny Wong in Canberra, the capital of Australia.

Said this about the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar

In the meeting, the allegations leveled by Australia against India in the context of the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada were also raised. However, this is unlikely to have any impact on bilateral relations between India and Australia. In the meeting held on Tuesday, both the foreign ministers talked about strengthening all the dimensions of mutual relations.

On the question asked about Canada, Jaishankar said, "I will say three things in this regard. First, it has become a habit of Canada to make allegations without any concrete evidence. Second, our diplomats are being spied upon in Canada, which is completely unacceptable. Third, you all must have seen the video of the attack on the Hindu temple, I believe that it shows how much political space is given to extremists there.

It is worth mentioning that a day earlier, PM Modi had said, "I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. The cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats are equally horrifying."

Extremists are getting encouragement in Canada

The case of the attack on the temple in Brampton, Canada is gaining momentum. Now the statement of India's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar has also come out regarding this, he said, the vandalism of a Hindu temple on Monday is very worrying. The Foreign Minister further said, 'Extremist forces are being given political space in Canada.' Indian diplomats are being monitored by Canada, which is unacceptable

The protesters raised slogans in protest

The Hindu community also took to the streets on Monday to protest against the incident. A large number of Hindus started protesting against this attack. During this, the protesters raised slogans of 'If you divide, you will be cut' and 'Inquilab Zindabad'.

Let us tell you that this incident happened a few weeks after Ottawa expelled six Indian diplomats linked to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in Canada in 2023. Canada has accused the Indian government of carrying out a wide-ranging campaign against South Asian dissidents in Canada, which New Delhi denies.
