India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued a firm message to Canada, demanding swift action following a recent attack on a Hindu temple by suspected Khalistani extremists. Expressing deep concern, the MEA highlighted the need for Canada to uphold its commitments to protecting Indian-origin communities and their religious institutions, especially given rising tensions linked to extremist factions abroad.
This diplomatic statement underscores India’s frustration with perceived leniency toward Khalistani activities within Canada. Relations between the two countries have faced strain, partly due to Canada’s handling of separatist elements. By emphasizing the temple’s desecration, the MEA calls for concrete measures, underscoring that such incidents not only endanger local communities but also harm bilateral relations.
India’s stance reiterates its position on cross-border extremism, encouraging international cooperation to ensure Indian communities feel secure in foreign lands.
