Hindu temple attack in Canada adds new chapter to India-Canada diplomatic mess
A Hindu temple in Canada got damaged right after diplomatic tensions between India and Canada got worse. Similar attacks happened in Australia while both countries try to handle the situation
A Hindu temple in Canada faced destruction on nov-5‚ prompting Subrahmanyam Jaishankar Indias foreign minister to voice his worries during his Australia trip
The attack comes after Canada kicked-out six Indian officials (linking them to a Sikh leaders death last year) which made things between both countries really bad. Ottawa says India is going after South-Asian critics in Canada but New Delhi says thats not true
Similar stuff happened down-under where vandals hit two Hindu temples in Canberra last month. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong talked about it saying: “everyone has rights to be safe and protest but theres a line between that and breaking stuff“
Canada has developed a pattern of making allegations without providing specifics
The whole mess got bigger when Jaishankar brought up how its not ok that Canadian folks are watching Indian diplomats. He pointed out that Ottawa keeps saying things without showing proof‚ which doesnt help fix the India-Canada relationship thatʼs already pretty messed-up
