The latest incident took place at a Ram Mandir in Mississauga comes a month after a Hindu Temple in Brampton Canada was defaced with hate-filled anti-India messages.
A prominent Hindu temple in Canada has been defaced by 'Khalistani extremists' with anti-India graffiti in an apparent hate crime, prompting the Indian mission here to condemn the incident and urge Canadian authorities to take swift action against the perpetrators.
The latest incident took place at a Ram Mandir in Mississauga on February 13. The time of the incident is, however, not known.
"We strongly condemn the defacing of Ram Mandir in Mississauga with anti-India graffiti. We have requested Canadian authorities to investigate the incident and take prompt action on perpetrators," India's Consulate in Toronto tweeted on Tuesday.
"Vandalism occurred overnight (February 13th) at the Shri Ram Mandir in Mississauga, Ontario Canada. We at the Ram Mandir are very disturbed by this occurrence and we are working with the appropriate law enforcement authority on this matter," the Facebook page of the temple said.
The walls of the temple painted with pro-Khalistani slogans and anti-India graffiti.
This is not the first time that a Hindu Temple in Canada was defaced with anti-India graffiti.
In January, a Hindu Temple in Brampton Canada was defaced with hate-filled messages directed towards India, causing an outrage among the Indian community.
