India’s consulate in Toronto cancels consular camps due to lack of security assurance from Canadian agencies

This follows the violent invasion of the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton on Sunday by pro-Khalistan elements protesting a consular camp being held on the premises of the temple. The separatists had attacked devotees inside the temple.

In a statement on X, the consulate said, “In view of the security agencies conveying their inability to provide minimum security protection to the community camp organisers, the consulate has decided to cancel some of the scheduled consular camps.”

Violence orchestrated by pro-Khalistan radicals had been condemned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had described it as a “deliberate attack” on the Hindu temple in a post on X.
