Expect Canada to ensure justice: Modi
Business Standard|November 05, 2024
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday slammed the attack on a temple by a pro-Khalistani mob in Canada and asked the government there to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law.
Expect Canada to ensure justice: Modi

In a post on X, Modi also flayed the "cowardly attempts" to intimidate Indian diplomats.

He said, "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."

He added, "We expect the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law."

Official sources noted that this is the first statement by Modi since the recent slump in India-Canada ties over the North American country's alleged support to Khalistani separatists and its accusation of India's involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and Khalistani separatist who has been designated a terrorist by India.
