The Ministry of External Affairs has strongly denounced the recent act of vandalism at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Chino Hills, California. BAPS public affairs has reaffirmed their commitment to combat hate and maintain peace within the community. The Coalition of Hindus of North America has connected this incident to Hinduphobia and highlighted past attacks on Hindu temples. Authorities are being called upon to conduct a thorough investigation, take strict measures against the perpetrators, and enhance security measures at temples to prevent such incidents in the future. The Indian government is closely monitoring the situation and is in touch with relevant authorities in the United States to ensure the safety and security of the Indian community and their places of worship. This condemnable act has sparked outrage among the Indian diaspora in the US and the Indian government is urging for swift action to be taken to bring the culprits to justice and prevent any further acts of violence targeting religious institutions.
