Vientiane: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau briefly met PM Modi in Laos. According to sources, there was no concrete discussion during this period regarding the earlier comments made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It is being told that this meeting took place between the two leaders on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Laos.
However the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC News) claims Trudeau described the meeting as a “brief exchange”. “I emphasized that we need to do something,” Trudeau was quoted as saying by CBC News. I won’t go into detail about what we talked about, but what I have said many times is that maintaining the safety of Canadians and the rule of law is one of the fundamental responsibilities of any Canadian government and I I will stick to this. Trudeau said this at a press conference in Vientiane.
There was no concrete discussion between the two leaders
India TV’s sources claimed that “there was no substantive discussion between the two leaders during this meeting in Vientiane”. “India expressed the hope that anti-India Khalistani activities will not be allowed on Canadian soil and that strict action will be taken against those advocating violence, extremism and terrorism against India from Canadian territory, which has been lacking so far.” India said that “the growing nexus of such forces with organized crime, drug syndicates and human trafficking should also be a matter of concern for Canada.” India said it values relations with Canada, but these cannot be improved unless the Canadian government takes strict and verifiable action against those actively involved in such activities.
Anti-India conspiracy in Canada
India has always maintained that a conspiracy has been hatched on Canadian soil to further anti-India activities and promote hatred, propaganda, communal disharmony and violence.” But Canada has avoided taking concrete action on this. Relations between India and Canada have been strained after Trudeau alleged the “possible” involvement of Indian agents after Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed outside a Gurudwara in Surrey city on June 18, 2023. Although India had declared Nijjar a terrorist in 2020, Trudeau had strongly rejected Trudeau’s allegations as “absurd” and “motivated”.
