The US State Department strongly condemns the vandalism of California's Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple, expressing support for Newark Police Department's pursuit of accountability. Suspected pro-Khalistan activists defaced the temple with anti-India graffiti, prompting External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to voice concern and lodge a complaint. Newark police term the incident a 'targeted act' and pledge a thorough investigation. The senseless act is met with deep sadness, with a commitment to intolerance for such actions in Newark. The US State Department emphasizes the need for swift action against extremists and separatist forces.
