Indians in Missisauga, Canada, were outraged when anti-India graffiti was daubed on a well-known Hindu temple. The Ram Mandir in Mississauga was vandalised, and the Indian Consulate General in Toronto vehemently denounced the incident and demanded that those responsible face harsh punishment.
“We strongly condemn the defacing of Ram Mandir in Missisauga with anti-India graffiti. We have requested Canadian authorities to investigate the incident and take prompt action on perpetrators,” it said.
Sikhs for Justice, a banned terrorist organisation with US bases, has taken responsibility for the attack.
Patrick Brown, the mayor of Brampton, also denounced the "hate-motivated" vandalism of the temple and declared that such hatred has no place in the area.
"I am saddened to hear of the hate motivated vandalism at the Ram Mandir Temple in Mississauga. Unknown suspects spray painted the walls on the back of the temple. This type of hate has no place in Peel Region," she said in a tweet.
