<h2><strong>Pro-Khalistan supporters attack Hindu community</strong></h2>

<p>The announcement was made nearly days after the Hindu community was attacked by the pro-Khalistan supporters&nbsp;in a consular camp organised by the Indian consulate outside the&nbsp;Hindi Sabha Temple in Brampton, near Toronto.</p>

<p>The Hindu community protested against the attack after which Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his anger over the attack.</p>

<p>Taking to X, PM Modi said, "I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. Equally appalling are the cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats.

<p>Earlier more attempts were made to disrupt such camps in Surrey and Vancouver on November 2 and 3.</p>

<p>Expressing his disapproval over the attack, Canadian Prime Minister&nbsp;Justin Trudeau said, "The acts of violence at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today are unacceptable. Every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely."</p>
