Amarinder Singh blames Justin Trudeau for India-Canada diplomatic tensions

Former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh came down heavily on Justin Trudeau’s administration, stating that the Canadian Prime Minister is the singular reason for severing ties with India.
Stating that Trudeau is using Punjabis to sustain his government, Singh said, “A government that patronises a terrorist or a separatist movement for political gain, is irresponsible and to a point criminal. There is a strong perception that Trudeau is using Punjabis to sustain his government, without realising the decline in his affinity with them in his own country and even in India”.
The former Congress leader also slammed Trudeau in the wake of his allegations against India. “One ambitious man shouldn’t be able to rock a stable friendship that has existed for decades,” he wrote on the day when an attack on a Hindu temple in Canada.
“It is not often that countries, friends for decades, should end up as they have Canada and India today. Are electoral compulsions more important than decades-old relationships, national commitments and age-old parliamentary traditions? For Trudeau, it seems not,” he said.
Pointing out next year’s elections, Singh said, “Time, they say, is a healer. In Trudeau’s case, time will tell next year when he goes to the polls. From what one hears, his luck has run out and these are his last few months. Let us hope that those media reports are true”.
