  • Canada PM Trudeau Vows To Lead Liberal Party In Next Election Despite MPs Calls To Resign | world news

    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday that he will lead his Liberal Party into the next election even after two dozen of his Members of Parliament called on him to step aside, Canada-based Global News reported.

    One member of his caucus has termed Trudeau’s announcement “disappointing.” Speaking to reporters, the Canadian PM said, “We’re going to continue to have great conversations about what is the best way to take on Pierre Poilievre in the next election,” Global News reported.

    He further said, “But that will happen with me as leader going into the next election.”

    Asked directly if he would stay on after the October 28 date, some caucus members had reportedly asked for a clear answer by, Trudeau replied with just one word: “Yes.”

    He was also asked whether he would expel anyone from the caucus if dissent about his leadership continued. Trudeau said they have had “robust conversations” on how to go ahead.

    Liberal MP Sean Casey, who was one of three members of the caucus who confirmed that they signed the document calling for the prime minister to resign, termed Trudeau’s announcement that he will stay on as leader just hours after MPs expressed their dissatisfaction “disappointing.”

    Sean Casey said, “I don’t think that he felt that he needed to reflect, consolidate. His mind was made up.” Casey said he is now putting the issue behind him, according to Global News report.

    He said that he had expressed what he had been hearing from his constituents and stressed that it will take his energy to win the seat. He said, “I did my job by voicing what I was hearing from my constituents. Now it’s going to take my energy and to direct them to winning my seat and not on internal party matters. As far as I’m concerned, it’s closed .”

    The Charlottetown MP said that it’s ultimately the decision that the Prime Minister makes. However, he noted that he does not see the decision paying off.

    Casey stated, “I wouldn’t call it delusional, but he’s seeing something that I don’t see, that my constituents don’t see.” He added that while he disagrees with Trudeau. However, he still believes that the Poilievre government would be the worst outcome and called on his colleagues not to vote against the current government.

    He said, “Anything that we do that makes [a Poilievre government] more likely is dumb.”

    Trudeau made the remarks after he met with his caucus on Wednesday, where some Liberals called on him to step down amid the party’s lagging in the elections and the two recent byelection losses in former Liberal strongholds.

    Between 20 and 30 MPs had signed an internal document urging Trudeau to step down as leader, Global News reported citing sources. These leaders also voiced their concerns to Trudeau during the meeting, Global News reported.

    After the meeting, several MPs said the party was united. However, they did not share details on what exactly happened behind closed doors. Internal calls for Justin Trudeau’s resignation as Liberal leader intensified on Wednesday as Liberal MPs convened on Parliament Hill, according to a report by CBC News.

    During the closed-door meeting, dissenting MPs conveyed their grievances to Trudeau, reflecting growing discontent within the party. This gathering was part of the weekly caucus meetings that take place while the House of Commons is in session. The Wednesday meeting served as a platform for MPs to voice their concerns and frustrations directly to PM Trudeau.

    Trudeau is facing mounting pressure from within his own party, with dissident Liberal MPs giving him an ultimatum to decide his future by October 28. During the caucus meeting on Wednesday, a document was presented outlining the case for Trudeau’s resignation, but it didn’t specify any consequences if he fails to meet the deadline.

    The latest political rift in Canada has indeed been fueled by the escalating tensions between India and Canada. The ties between India and Canada soured after Trudeau alleged in the Canadian Parliament last year that he has “credible allegations” of India’s hand in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

    India has denied all the allegations, calling them “absurd” and “politically motivated” and has accused Canada of giving space to extremist and anti-India elements in their country.

    Nijjar, who was designated a terrorist by India’s National Investigation Agency in 2020, was shot and killed outside a Gurdwara in Surrey in June last year. The recent diplomatic row erupted when Canada labeled India’s High Commissioner and other diplomats as “persons of interest” in the investigation of Nijjar’s death.

  • Canada To Be Next Pakistan? Justin Trudeau’s Khalistan-Appeasement Policy May Do That | Analysis India News

    It’s well known that Pakistan supported and nurtured terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to use them against India. Such was Pakistan’s love for them that it not only funded these terrorist organizations but turned its soil into a safe haven for them. Today, there are many active terrorists organizations in Pakistan which have endangered the Islamic Republic’s security putting their people’s lives in danger. There is a saying – ‘You reap what you sow’. This is what is happening with Pakistan but it’s yet to realize its mistake and continues to sponsor terrorism against India.

    Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is also committing similar mistakes by harboring the pro-Khalistani elements for petty electoral gains. Trudeau’s party – the Liberal Party of Canada – is fast losing support among Canadian voters and thus, Trudeau is looking to appease the Sikh population who are around seven lakhs.

    The Canadian government has accused India of using the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to target pro-Khalistani elements. However, it has failed to give any hard proof for the allegations so far.

    India’s Ministry of External Affairs has issued a strong response to the Canadian government’s allegations, stating that while the Trudeau government is accusing India by mentioning Lawrence Bishnoi, it has shown leniency toward criminals associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. India has sent 26 extradition requests to the Canadian government, but no action has been taken. Furthermore, India has also appealed in 29 cases where wanted criminals should have been arrested, but Canada has failed to act on those as well.

    Surprisingly, Canada is ready to sacrifice its diplomatic relations with India for Khalistani terrorists. These terrorists often carry out large protests across Canada against India and have attacked Hindu temples across the country and even in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia in the past. The protest by Khalistani terrorists often create chaos and lead to a security situation. However, despite the fact, that Canada is harboring these declared terrorists for petty gains.

    Canada’s determination to sever diplomatic ties over the issue of Khalistani terrorists reflects that Justin Trudeau’s policies are purely driven by vote-bank politics. In an effort to appease certain groups, Trudeau has once again targeted India. While Trudeau claims to prioritize public safety, the actions of his government tell a different story. Here’s a significant piece of evidence: On May 17, 2024, Zee News requested data from the Canadian government regarding the entry of Khalistani terrorists into Canada, and the Canadian government shared shocking data.

    In 2021, 141 individuals with ties to Khalistani terrorism sought asylum in Canada, and 36 of them were granted entry. In 2022, the number of such applicants increased to 801, with 428 receiving approval. In 2023, 618 applications were submitted, explicitly stating support for Khalistani terrorism, and 364 individuals were allowed entry. By March 2024, 119 applications were submitted, and Canada approved the entry of 78 people with connections to Khalistani terrorism.

    This data highlights Trudeau’s policies of appeasement, raising serious questions about the government’s commitment to public safety while allowing individuals with terrorist links into the country. Justin Trudeau is arguing for the security of Khalistani terrorists in his country but by sheltering Khalistani terrorists, he is posing a threat to India’s security. These statistics expose the double standards of the Canadian Prime Minister.

    Trudeau has also failed to understand that the Khalistani terrorists and Lawrence Bishnoi gang members have deep connections with Pakistani terrorist organizations. Sooner or later, if Trudeau fails to put a leash on them and cooperate with India over New Delhi’s extradition requests, it is only going to create internal anarchy for Canada. Meanwhile, Canadians can only hope Trudeau will return to his senses in time, else, the day is not far when Canada will turn into another Pakistan by becoming a home to multiple terror organizations.

  • India Hits Back At Justin Trudeau Govt, Indicts Canada Border Police Official In Terror Case | India News

    India-Canada Row: Justin Trudeau-led Canadian government has made false accusations against Indian diplomats by connecting them to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. In response, India’s Ministry of External Affairs strongly rebuked Canada, stating that while the Trudeau government accuses India of using Lawrence Bishnoi’s name, it has shown leniency toward criminals associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

    The MEA said that India has sent 26 extradition requests to the Canada government, but no action has been taken. Furthermore, India has also appealed in 29 cases where wanted criminals should have been arrested, yet Canada has not acted on those either. In fact, one of the 26 extradition requests includes Canada’s border police – Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) – official Sandeep Singh Sidhu.

    As per media reports, Sidhu, an employee of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and a member of the banned International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF), has been implicated in promoting terrorist activities in Punjab. Sidhu was allegedly in contact with Pakistan-based Khalistani terrorist Lakhbir Singh Rode and other ISI operatives to orchestrate the assassination of Balwinder Singh Sandhu in 2020. Sandhu, renowned for his battle against Khalistani militants during Punjab’s decade of insurgency, became a symbol of resistance to. the separatist movement.

    While Canada tried to put the blame on India for political gain, the rejection of New Delhi’s extradition requests clearly indicates that Justin Trudeau’s government made false accusations against Indian diplomats.

    According to several experts, Trudeau’s compulsion to appease Khalistani terrorists for vote bank politics is the reason behind his baseless accusation that India was involved in the killing of terrorist Hardeep Nijjar. There are over seven lakh Sikhs residing in Canada and the majority of them are voters of the North American country. While Khalistanis may be celebrating Trudeau’s conflict with India, Canadian citizens are beginning to question the narrative surrounding Hardeep Nijjar.

    A Canadian opposition leader has accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of using Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s murder to divert attention from other controversies and asked the government to posthumously take away the Khalistani militant’s citizenship to correct the past administrative error. Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People’s Party of Canada, also said the Khalistani militant who is the central figure in the whole controversy was a foreign terrorist who was somehow granted citizenship in 2007, instead of deportation.

  • ‘Slaughterhouse, Not Prison…’: Accused Nikhil Gupta On His US Detainment In Pannun Murder Plot, Calls Case ‘Fabricated’ | world news

    Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national accused of being involved in a plot to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannu in the United States, has spoken out for the first time since his detention in Prague last year. In an interview with The Sunday Guardian, Gupta claimed that he is innocent and has been framed in a politically motivated case. Gupta was arrested in Prague last year by the FBI and later extradited to New York, is currently facing intense conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) Brooklyn.

    Gupta alleged that the case against him is fabricated and meant to affect the elections in India. He described the prison conditions as a “slaughterhouse” and claimed that he has been subjected to torture and intimidation by officials. “I am an innocent man who has been wrongly framed,” Gupta said. “There is no actual case against me. All of it is fabricated and politically motivated. It was only meant to affect the elections in India.”

    While speaking to The Sunday Guardian, he claimed that the US authorities are targeting him to exploit divisions within the Sikh community and influence political scenarios both in the US and India.

    Gupta denied any involvement in illegal activities and claimed that he has never met any Indian government officials or intelligence agents. He also denied any criminal cases filed against him in India or elsewhere.

    “I have always been a businessman,” Gupta said. “I have been involved in various small businesses. I have worked in mining, silica sand, non-ferrous metal import, brass handicrafts, and marble export. I have never been involved in any illegal or unlawful activities.”

    Gupta claimed that he has been treated poorly by officials in the US and has not received any legal support. He also alleged that he has been kept in solitary confinement and has been subjected to physical and mental torture.

    “The treatment from the officials is such that they expect me to agree with whatever they say,” Gupta said. “They have a hundred ways to make anyone comply through force, intimidation, and dirty tactics.”

    Gupta’s family has not received any support from the Indian government, and he has been left to face the ordeal alone.

    “I am more concerned about my family than myself,” Gupta said. “I am worried about how they are managing over there. Our savings have been spent on the legal fees that I had to incur in Czech and the US. I am still waiting for a response on my request for a public defender to represent me. “

  • India Canada Row: Foreign Minister Jaishankar lashed out at Canada, cited this as the reason for the deteriorating relations between the two countries

    India Canada Row:India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said Canada’s allegations regarding the death of a Khalistani separatist were discussed during his meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken a day earlier. He said that after the meeting both the delegations shared better information. Jaishankar was asked at think-tank Hudson Institute whether the issue of Canadian allegations had come up during his meeting with Blinken at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department. In response to this he said, yes, I did that.

    India’s concerns explained to America
    Jaishankar said that the American side shared its assessment of the entire situation and he explained to the Americans the gist of India’s concerns. He said, I think hopefully we will both come away with better information.

He said, due to this, visa operations in Canada were also forced to be temporarily suspended. So, as I said, you know, often countries look very different, depending on how you look at them, but there is a problem with Canada.
