Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned a "deliberate attack" on a Hindu temple in Canada, saying on Nov. 4 that he expected the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law.
In a rare comment at a time of escalating diplomatic tensions between the two countries, Modi also said in a social media post that attempts to intimidate Indian diplomats in Canada were "equally appalling".
I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. Equally appalling are the cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats. Such acts of violence will never weaken India’s resolve. We expect the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law.
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 4, 2024
