New Delhi/IBNS: The Indian High Commission has strongly responded to an attack on Hindus outside a temple in Canadas Brampton by suspected Khalistani members, calling the violence deeply disappointing, media reports said.
In a press statement, the High Commission said, We have seen violent disruption today (Nov 3) orchestrated by anti-India elements outside the consular camp co-organized with the Hindu Sabha Mandir, Brampton, near Toronto.
It is deeply disappointing to see such disruptions being allowed for routine consular work being organized by our Consulates with the fullest cooperation of local co-organizers.
We also remain very concerned for the safety of applicants, including Indian nationals, on whose demand such events are organized in the first place. Despite these efforts by anti-India elements, our Consulate was able to issue more than 1,000 life certificates to the Indian and Canadian applicants, the statement added.

A large number of devotees were attacked outside a Hindu temple in Canadas Brampton city by suspected Khalistani members recently.
Several videos which are currently circulating on social media showed some people attacking devotees with sticks outside the Hindu temple.
A red line has been crossed by Canadian Khalistani extremists today.
The attack by Khalistanis on the Hindu-Canadian devotees inside the premises of the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton shows how deep and brazen has Khalistani violent extremism has become in Canada.
