MP Chandra Arya’s reaction to the attack

Canadian MP Chandra Arya condemned the temple attack and said a “red line has been crossed” by Khalistan extremists. Speaking to X, he wrote: “A red line was crossed today by the Canadian Khalistani extremists. The Khalistani attack on Hindu-Canadian worshipers inside the Hindu Sabha temple premises in Brampton shows how deep and brazen Khalistani violent extremism has become in Canada. I am beginning to feel that there is a small grain of truth in the reports that, in addition to the Canadian political apparatus, Khalistanis have actually infiltrated our law enforcement.

“It is no wonder that under ‘free speech’ Khalistan extremists get a free pass in Canada. As I have said for a long time, Hindu Canadians, for the safety of our community, must step up and assert their rights and hold politicians accountable,” he added.

Pierre Poilievre strongly condemns the attack

Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre strongly condemned the attack. Sharing an article on X, Poilievre wrote: “Completely unacceptable to see violence targeting worshipers at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today. »

“All Canadians should be free to practice their faith in peace. Conservatives unequivocally condemn this violence. I will unite our people and end the chaos,” he added.

THE a recent attack is added to a chain Similar incidents have been documented in recent years, highlighting a worrying trend of religious intolerance.

India-Canada relations

Ties between India and Canada deteriorated last year after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cited “credible allegations” that Indian government agents – including Verma and other diplomats – were linked to the death of Khalistan separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. New Delhi has repeatedly denied the allegations – calling them “absurd” and “motivated” – and accused Canada of giving space to extremist and anti-India elements in its country.
