 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".

 



Earlier in the day, India's foreign ministry said the violence on Nov. 3 at a temple in Brampton, Ontario, was perpetrated by "extremists and separatists".

According to the local police three arrests were made so far in the incident.
