The protest was held against the November 3 attack on a Hindu temple in Brampton 

On November 3, protestors carrying Khalistani flags clashed with people at the Hindu Sabha temple disrupting an event co-organised by the temple authorities and the Indian Consulate

In response to the temple attack, Hindus, Sikhs, Jews and other communities came together and held a protest in Canada the following day

PM Modi and several other leaders had condemned the attack on the temple. The relations between India and Canada came under severe strain following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September last year of a 'potential' involvement of Indian agents in Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing, an allegation rejected by India as 'absurd'. Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, was designated a terrorist by India

India has been maintaining that the main issue between the two countries is that of Canada giving space to pro-Khalistan elements operating from Canadian soil with impunity
