Canada's Conservative Party leader says Justin Trudeau is a laughing stock in India
Op IndiaOn 21st October, the leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, strongly criticised Canadian Prime Minister Justine Trudeau over deteriorating relations with India. “Justin Trudeau is considered a laughing stock in India – the world’s biggest democracy,” he said. When asked about the recent departure of 41 Canadian diplomats from India after their diplomatic immunity was revoked following escalating tensions between the two nations, Poilievre put the blame squarely on Trudeau. Freedom includes the ability of worship without fear or without vandalisation and I strongly condemn all the attacks on Hindu mandirs, threats against Hindu leaders, the aggression shown to, for example, Indian diplomats at public events is totally unacceptable.” Will restore ‘professional relationship’ with India While talking about what he will do to change the situation if he becomes the PM, Pierre Poilievre said that he will restore a “professional relationship” with India if he becomes the next Prime Minister.
