On Sunday, just after 2:30 p.m., Peel Regional Police said they were aware of a protest that occurred at a temple in Brampton, Ont., and urged the public to ensure a “peaceful and lawful protest,” noting it had an increased and visible presence to monitor activities.

About a half hour before the police’s post on X about the protest, ******** cabinet minister Anita Anand said she was “concerned about reports of unacceptable violent attacks at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton.”

Video circulating on X appeared to show people using flagpoles to strike others.

According to police, investigators believed the same protesters who demonstrated outside the temple later relocated to two separate locations in Mississauga, Ont.

One arrest that occurred Sunday “during the management of the protest” in the Westwood Mall area of Mississauga resulted in a police officer sustaining minor injuries, Peel police said.

The Hindu ********* Foundation alleged the “*******” is “happening under the support of Khalistaani politician sympathizers.”

In his post, Modi alleged there were “cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats.”

Law enforcement said it appreciated the cooperation of those who remained peaceful and would continue to provide updates as more information became available.

Multiple ********* politicians have called out the incident, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calling the ********* “unacceptable.”

“Every ********* has the right to practice their ****** freely and safely,” he wrote on X.

************* Leader Pierre Poilievre also said his party condemned the ********* “unequivocally,” adding he would “unite our people and end the chaos.”

Ontario Premier Doug Ford condemned the incident and added, “no one should feel unsafe in their place of worship.”
