India has expressed serious concern over recent incidents of vandalism targeting Hindu temples in the United States and has urged U.S. authorities to ensure the security of all places of worship. These acts not only distress the Hindu community but also undermine the principles of religious harmony and mutual respect.
In January 2024, a Hindu temple in California was defaced with pro-Khalistan graffiti, raising alarms about the safety of religious institutions.
The Indian government has formally conveyed its concerns to U.S. officials, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding religious sites and upholding the values of tolerance and coexistence. The Ministry of External Affairs has called for prompt action against the perpetrators to prevent such incidents in the future.
These developments highlight the need for vigilance and proactive measures to protect religious communities and their places of worship from acts of hate and vandalism.
