Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticised the “cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats” in a deepening diplomatic row with Canada.

targeting Indian dissidents on ********* soil, something the country denies.

Modi’s comments came after ********* broke out at a Hindu temple in the ********* city of Brampton on Sunday, which he has called a “deliberate *******”.

“Such acts of ********* will never weaken India’s resolve. We expect the ********* government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law,” he wrote on X.

Local police said three people have so far been arrested and charged over the incident in Brampton, near Toronto, but did not provide further details.

The force said “several acts of unlawfulness continue to be actively investigated” by its officers.

India’s foreign ministry said “extremists and separatists” were behind the *********, calling on the ********* government to “ensure that all places of worship are protected from such attacks”.

The North America-based activist group Sikhs for Justice, meanwhile, described the incident as an “unprovoked violent ******* on peaceful pro-Khalistan demonstrators”.

The rift between Canada and India has raised questions over the impact it could have on the deep trade and immigration ties between both countries.

Bilateral trade is worth billions of dollars, and Canada is home to nearly 1.7 million people of Indian origin.

Neither country has yet imposed tariffs or other economic forms of retaliation, but experts caution that this could change, and that a cooling relationship between India and Canada could hinder further economic growth.
