Canada: Liberal Party revokes Chandra Arya’s candidacy, details undisclosed

Hindustan Times  

Toronto: The ruling Liberal Party has revoked the candidacy of Indo-Canadian Chandra Arya, based on unspecified “new information” it reviewed. While this news is deeply disappointing, it does not diminish the profound honour and privilege it has been to serve the people of Nepean — and all Canadians — as their Member of Parliament since 2015.” Arya has been among the only critics of the pro-Khalistan movement in Canada among the current political class and there was pressure from influential quarters to have him removed as a candidate for a while, a person familiar with the development said. “This decision raises significant questions about the legitimacy of the leadership race and, by extension, the legitimacy of the next Prime Minister of Canada,” Arya said, in a statement at the time. No reason was attributed for the disqualification, though the agency Canadian Press cited a Liberal Party spokesperson pointed to a section of the national leadership rules which bars a candidate if they were deemed to be “manifestly unfit for the office”.
