"Deeply Concerned About Indians' Safety": Government On Canada Temple Attack | Read
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 said in a statement issued Monday.
The Indian government, Mr Jaiswal, said, remains "deeply concerned" about the safety and security of its citizens in that country, and said efforts to provide consular services to Indian and Canadian citizens - a camp was being held inside the temple - "will not be deterred".
