Canadian police have made another arrest in connection with the violent altercation during a protest at a Hindu temple in Brampton on the 3rd of this month. The violence erupted during a demonstration at a Mandir on the Gore Road, escalating into physical assaults between opposing protestors. A special investigative team has been formed to probe the incidents.
The protests have drawn attention internationally, with India condemning the attack. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called it a ‘deliberate attack’ and a cowardly attempt to intimidate Indian diplomats. He expressed solidarity with the Indian community in Canada, urging the Canadian government to uphold justice and the rule of law. The Consulate General of India in Toronto also cancelled several consular camps due to security concerns.
