Upholding the right to practice religion "freely and safely", Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday called the violence at a Hindu temple near Toronto "unacceptable".
Heavy police deployment was seen at the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton after skirmishes blamed by some leaders on Sikh activists. In videos that went viral, some men were seen breaching the gates of the temple and assaulting devotees inside the complex.
A spokesman for the Peel Regional Police told AFP that no arrests had been made. Police have also declined to assign blame for the reported violence.
