NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has condemned a “deliberate attack” on a Hindu temple in Canada and criticised “cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats”, in his first comments on a diplomatic face-off with Canada.
Modi, who has built a robust outreach particularly to the Hindu diaspora, also asked the Canadian government to “ensure justice and uphold the rule of law”.
