Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reacted to a protest by Khalistan supporters at a Hindu temple in Ontario that turned violent during the weekend, saying efforts to “intimidate” his officials won’t affect “India’s resolve.”

“I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada,” Modi wrote in a statement posted on social media platform X on Nov. 4.
