Trudeau's Troubles in India: Khalistani Activities and Aircraft Glitch
During bilateral talks between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, India raised concerns about the rising Khalistan extremism in Canada, highlighting anti-India activities, secessionism, violence against Indian diplomats, and threats to the Indian community and their places of worship. Trudeau defended freedom of expression and peaceful protest but acknowledged the need to prevent violence and push back against hatred. He emphasized that the actions of a few do not represent the entire community or Canada. India has reported multiple incidents of Khalistan extremism in Canada, including protests, vandalism of temples, and threats to Indian diplomats. Trudeau recognized India as an important economic partner and expressed a commitment to expanding cooperation.
