Peel Regional Police continue to monitor the area of a Hindu temple in Brampton after ordering demonstrators to disperse late last night over "unlawful assembly."

This stemmed from a violent clash that broke out outside the temple on Sunday, where one group calling for an independent state in India appeared to face off with another group carrying the India flag.

On Tuesday, several Canadian ministers addressed the violence over the past few days, calling for deescalation and calm within the community.

"Everyone has a right to peacefully protest... but it should not cross the line into hate, intimidation and acts of violence that we saw. And I think what happened in Brampton yesterday was absolutely unacceptable," Minister of Diversity and Inclusion Khera said.

"Iit has to be the case that no place of worship is desecrated, let alone violently invaded, where people are prevented from practicing their religion in peace," Minister of Transport Anita Anand added.
