Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has condemned the recent attack on a Hindu temple in Brampton, allegedly carried out by Khalistani extremists. He emphasized the importance of Canadians being able to practice their faith freely and safely.
On Sunday, the Peel Regional Police reported a protest at the temple. Unverified videos circulating on social media appeared to show violent clashes between demonstrators. In response, Trudeau thanked local authorities for their swift action in ensuring community safety and investigating the incident.
