“We are very upset that anti-India graffiti was put on the Ram Mandir in Mississauga,” the Consulate General of India in Toronto said. “We have asked Canadian authorities to look into what happened and take quick action against those responsible.”

Iqwinder S. Gaheer, the MP for Mississauga-Malton, said he was upset by what happened and is in touch with the temple’s leaders. “Spray paint was used to damage the temple walls,” Gaheer said in a tweet. “The person or people who did it should be found and held responsible. I’m still in touch with Mandir’s management to figure out what to do next.

The mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown, told The Indian Express on Tuesday that it was “vandalism motivated by hate.”

“This possible hate crime is being taken very seriously by the Peel Police and Chief of Peel Regional Police Nishan Duraiappah,” Brown said. “Twelve Division has carriage of the investigation and they will find those responsible. Religious freedom is a Charter right in Canada, and we will do everything we can to make sure everyone is safe at their place of worship.
