There are supporters of PM Narendra Modi's government in Canada: Justin Trudeau
Meanwhile Trudeau’s comments came amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between New delhi and Ottawa following Trudeau’s allegations in september last year of a “potential" involvement of indian agents in Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing. New delhi had rejected Trudeau’s charges as “absurd" and “baseless". Trudeau later admitted that he had not provided india with concrete proof regarding the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil while testifying before the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions in Ottawa, bolstering India’s claims.Furthermore the Ministry of External Affairs of india said that New delhi remains “deeply concerned" about the safety and security of indian nationals in Canada. The MEA further called on prime minister Justin Trudeau-led Canadian government to protect the places of worship from such attacks on its soil.
