Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday (local time) said individuals who partook in violence do not represent Canada’s Sikh and Hindu communities while addressing the Canadian parliament.

“The violence we have seen in South Asian communities across the country over the past few nights, let me be very clear. The individuals who are inciting violence and division and hatred in no way represent either the Sikh community or the Hindu community in Canada," Trudeau told the Canadian parliament.

Khalistanis carrying flags clashed with people at a Hindu temple in Brampton, on Sunday. The videos showed fist fights and people striking each other with poles on what appears to be the grounds surrounding the Hindu Sabha Mandir temple.
