India-Canada Relations : Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s troubles are not ending. Every now and then Trudeau is put in the dock for one issue or the other. Something similar happened again with Trudeau that he had to call the officers of his own security agency criminals.
Actually, Justin Trudeau has been criticized a lot for leaking false information about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Globe and Mail, a leading Canadian newspaper, published a report in which it was said that PM Modi had prior knowledge about the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. It was also claimed in the same report that Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and the Indian National Security Advisor were also aware of this plan. The Globe and Mail newspaper published this report quoting Canadian security officials. Responding to which Trudeau has called his own officials ‘criminals’.
India gave a strong reaction to this report
After the publication of this report by the Globe and Mail, the Indian Foreign Ministry has reacted strongly to it and called it a campaign to defame. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said, “Such defamatory campaigns further damage our already strained relations.”
What the Canadian National Security Agency said,
After this, the National Security Agency of Canada declared this published report completely wrong. The agency said in a statement, “The National Security Agency has informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister S. “Nothing has been said about Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval having information about the Nijjar murder case, nor does the agency have any evidence in this regard.”
Trudeau government was criticized after the report was published
PM Justin Trudeau is being criticized a lot in Canada for this report against the Indian Prime Minister. Canada’s leading news outnet CPC, in a press conference, asked Trudeau about the Globe and Mail report and the denial made by the Canadian Security Agency, asking whether the Government of Canada will conduct any investigation in this matter or not? How can an agency make such claims and how can a mainstream media publish such reports without any evidence?
Justin Trudeau, responding to the question, said, “We saw that criminals are leaking top secret information to the media and the media are continuously publishing false stories.” He said, “Criminals leaking information to the media is unbelievable.”
