Indian-origin Ruby Dhalla disqualified from race for Canada PM post: ‘Shocked, deeply disappointed'
Ruby Dhalla, the Indo-Canadian candidate for the leadership of the Liberal Party and Canada's Prime Ministerial office, said on Saturday she has been disqualified from running for the top post. Ruby Dhalla, a former Canada MP, said that the Liberal Party levelled "false" allegations against her. The Globe and Mail had said that the Liberal Party had sent her questions, including those related to the "possible foreign interference in her leadership campaign from the Indian government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.” The party however formally denied that charge, with a spokesperson telling CBC news that none of the questions were related to foreign interference. Justin Trudeau had in January first week announced his resignation as the leader of the Liberal Party, citing internal battles and saying that he cannot be the "best option" in the next election.
