Statement from Indian High Commission

The Indian High Commission in Ottawa has issued a statement after the attack on Hindus. The High Commission said that violent disruptions have been witnessed by anti-India elements outside the consular camp organized in collaboration with the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton. This is extremely disappointing. We are also very concerned about the safety of applicants, including Indian citizens, on whose demand such programs are organized. 

Canada became a safe place for extremists 

Meanwhile, Toronto MP Kevin Vuong also condemned the attack and said Canada has become a safe haven for radicals and added that the country's leaders have failed to protect Hindus just as they failed to protect Christian and Jewish Canadians.

Sharing a post on X, Vuong wrote "It is alarming to see Hindu Canadians being attacked. From Khalistani extremists to terrorist cosplayers, Canada has become a safe harbour for radicals. Our leaders have failed to protect Hindus just as they failed to protect Christian and Jewish Canadians from violence. We all deserve to worship in peace."

Children and women were also targeted

Following the attacks, Hindu Canadian Foundation, a non-profit organisation working for the Hindu community in Canada, shared a video of the attack on the temple and said that Khalistani terrorists attacked children and women.
