Justin Trudeau lends support to farmers' protests in Delhi; comments 'ill-informed', says MEA

Firstpost  

Trudeau’s statements elicited a sharp response from the Ministry of External Affairs, which called his comments ‘ill-informed.’ Expressing concern over the ongoing farmers’ protest in India, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau on Monday said that his country will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest. Trudeau said he would be remiss if he didn’t recognise the “news coming out of India about the protest by farmers.” “The situation is concerning and we are all very worried about family and friends and I know that is a reality for many of you,” Trudeau said in the video posted on his Twitter account. Trudeau’s statements elicited a sharp response from the Ministry of External Affairs, which called his comments ‘ill-informed.’ The Indian external affairs ministry was quoted by NDTV as saying, “We’ve seen some ill-informed comments by Canadian leaders relating to farmers in India. It’s also best that diplomatic conversations aren’t misrepresented for political purposes.” Thousands of farmers stayed put at various Delhi border points for the sixth consecutive day on Tuesday protesting against the new farm laws, which they fear will dismantle the minimum support price system and corporatise farming.
