Tensions explode: Trudeau points finger at India – How will Modi respond?
In a groundbreaking revelation, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the escalating diplomatic crisis between Canada and India at Canada’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York. Trudeau shocked the world by insinuating the possible involvement of Indian government agencies in the unfortunate killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and alleged Khalistani terrorist.
Canada and India on Thin Ice
The tumult began earlier this week when Trudeau publicly pinned India for Nijjar’s death. A move that New Delhi vehemently denied. In a swift diplomatic rebuff, India suspended visa services for Canadians and blasted Canada for allegedly harboring terrorists. Trudeau’s assertions, India claims, lack specific evidence.
