Soon after the violent attacks, the Hindu Canadian Foundation, a non-profit organisation working for the Hindu community in Canada, shared a video of the attack on the temple and said that the Khalistani terrorists attacked children and women.

The recent attack on Hindu Sabha Temple adds to a series of similar such incidents documented in recent years, highlighting a concerning trend of religious intolerance, especially against Hindus, in Canada.

Meanwhile, Kevin Vuong, Toronto MP, criticised the attacks. He asserted that "Canada has become a safe harbour for radicals". He said that the country's leaders have failed to protect Hindus just like they failed to safeguard Christians and Jewish Canadians.
