External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on December 23 expressed concern over the vandalism of a Hindu temple with anti-India graffiti in the U.S., and said extremists and separatist forces outside India should not get such space.
He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the third convocation of the Rashtriya Raksha University in Gandhinagar.
"I have seen the news. As you know, we are concerned about this. Extremists and separatist forces outside India should not get space. Our consulate has lodged a complaint with the (U.S.) government and the police there over whatever happened, and I believe the matter is being inquired," Mr. Jaishankar said in response to a query about the incident.
