India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar called the recent attack on a Hindu temple in Canada “deeply concerning” during a meeting with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong in Canberra. Wong condemned the incident, especially as it occurred during Diwali, saying it was “upsetting” for the Indian community. While Australia values peaceful protests, Wong stressed that violence and vandalism are unacceptable. Jaishankar also criticized Canada for allegedly supporting Sikh extremists, saying Canada has “a pattern of making allegations without specifics.” Both ministers agreed to uphold principles of freedom while condemning hate and violence.
