PM Modi condemns attack on Hindus in Canada, urges upholding of rule of law

The "deliberate attack" on a Hindu temple in Canada sparked strong condemnation in India on Monday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law. Political parties and religious organisations in India also demanded that the Canadian government take steps to ensure that such incidents are not repeated. The incident occurred in Brampton, where protestors carrying Khalistani flags clashed with people at the Hindu Sabha temple on Sunday and disrupted a consular event co-organised by the temple authorities and the Indian Consulate. New Delhi said it remains "deeply concerned" about the safety and security of Indian nationals in Canada while Prime Minister Modi also flayed the "cowardly attempts" to intimidate Indian diplomats. The development comes as India-Canada ties remain deeply troubled over the North American country's alleged support to Khalistani separatists and its accusation of India's involvement in the killing

Oppn party says it wants to topple Trudeau's govt in Canada's Parliament

A Quebec nationalist party said Tuesday it will work with other opposition parties in Canada's Parliament to topple Prime Minister Justin Trudeau' s minority government. Trudeau's Liberals have only 153 seats in the 338-seat House of Commons and must rely on an opposition party to pass legislation. With the parliamentary election approaching and Trudeau hoping for a fourth term, his party has been trailing the Conservatives in polls with Canadians feeling frustrated by the rising cost of living, coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bloc Qubcois Leader Yves-Franois Blanchet said Trudeau's days are numbered after the Liberals failed to meet his demand to boost old age security payments for seniors. However, the party will need the leftist New Democratic Party and the Conservatives who are eager to force an election to take down Trudeau's Liberals. The NDP has been supporting Trudeau's Liberals but their leader recently announced it would decide based on each proposed bill. Trudeau
