Three individuals have been charged in connection with demonstrations outside a Hindu temple in Ontario that escalated into acts of unlawfulness. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also issued a social media post condemning the violence and calling on the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law. Peel Regional Police arrested three individuals on Monday morning and are still investigating other alleged acts that occurred during the incident. The protests began at a temple in Brampton, Ontario, with reports of violent attacks and protesters using flagpoles to strike others.
