External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has raised concerns regarding the recent attacks on Hindu temples in Canada, stating that these incidents highlight how "political space" is being afforded to "extremist forces" in the country. During a joint press conference with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Tuesday, Jaishankar remarked, "What happened yesterday at the Hindu temple in Canada was deeply concerning."

He referred to the statement made by the official spokesperson of the Indian government and the expression of concern shared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasising how seriously India regards these events. "That should convey to you how deeply we feel about it," he added.
