Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant strongly condemned the recent attack on a Hindu temple in Brampton, Canada, labeling it as an affront to peace and unity. He called the incident “unacceptable,” emphasizing the need for respect and tolerance across communities. The event, which disrupted a consular gathering hosted with the Indian Consulate, has intensified diplomatic strain between India and Canada, already challenged by tensions over alleged support for Khalistani elements in Canada. CM Sawant urged Canadian authorities to take immediate action to protect religious communities and uphold shared values of peace and respect​.
