Former British Columbia premier and federal MP, Ujjal Dev Dosanjh, has criticised the recent attacks on a Hindu temple in Canada by alleged pro-Khalistani members.

He termed the attack as 'completely unacceptable'.

Sikri told ANI, “They are talking about maintaining audio and video surveillance on the few diplomats of the Indian High Commission that are left there. This audio and video surveillance is completely unacceptable. This is clearly a case of mounting aggressiveness by the Canadian government against India and based on no evidence.”

“In the early months on claims made against India on Nijjar (Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar), the local authorities described it as a gang war… They never accused India, they never blamed India for the killing of Nijjar. But we saw that PM Justin Trudeau not only blamed India but has stepped up the belligerence and aggression against India," she said.

Amid the ongoing diplomatic meltdown between India and Canada, a large number of devotees were attacked outside a Hindu temple in Brampton city near Toronto by suspected Khalistani members recently.

Several videos which are currently circulating on social media showed some people attacking devotees with sticks outside the Hindu temple.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday condemned the "deliberate attack" on a Hindu temple in Canada's Brampton city.

PM Modi also slammed the attempt to "intimidate" Indian diplomats in Canada, calling the situation 'appalling' and urging the Canadian government to ensure justice.

In a strongly worded post, PM Modi said: "I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. Equally appalling are the cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats. Such acts of violence will never weaken India’s resolve. We expect the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law."
