India-Canada relations nosedived this year when PM Trudeau alleged India’s involvement in Hardeep Nijjar’s killing. Canadian PM was very vocal and spoke against India for the death of a person who was a designated terrorist, according to NIA.
After previously emphasising that Israel has the right to defend itself, Trudeau on Tuesday urged the Jewish state to exercise 'maximum restraint' to avoid killing civilians. Netanyahu responded by saying that it was Hamas, not Israel who was targeting innocent civilians.
Trudeau said that Canada tried to work "collaboratively" and "positively" with New Delhi and added Ottawa will continue to work with Indian counterparts. "This is not a fight we want to be having right now but we will unequivocally always stand up for the rule of law...," added Trudeau.
"Due to operation reasons, with immediate effect i.e. 21 September 2023, Indian visa services in Canada have been suspended till further notice," read the statement released by BLS International on Thursday.
According to reports, Sukhdool Singh alias Sukha Duneke, a Khalistani terrorist and a wanted gangster, escaped to Canada from Punjab's Moga district around six years ago.
They said that pro-Khalistani outfits such as the World Sikh Organization (WSO), Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) working at the behest of Pakistan have been allegedly operating freely from the Canadian soil.
The statement from Washington came after Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said the expelled Indian diplomat was the head of Indian intelligence in Canada and added her PM also raised the matter with US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Taking to Twitter, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau announced that his government has introduced legislation to further strengthen gun control in Canada.
Musk, the chief executive of Tesla Inc, sent the tweet on Wednesday just before midnight in California, and had deleted it by midday on Thursday, without explanation. He did respond to a request for comment.
"Our focus right now is on getting people out of Afghanistan and the Taliban need to ensure free access to people to get to the airport," he said on Tuesday.
Justin Trudeau will announce Sunday he is calling a snap election for September 20, 2021.
"Let’s keep working together to improve the lives of Canadians and Indians through education & innovation, investing in trade, and fighting climate change,” tweeted Justin Trudeau.
"In the end, I am sorry for any embarrassment this matter has caused to Canada, India, my community and my family," Atwal said.
