Justin of controversies…those 5 incidents when Canada was embarrassed because of Trudeau!
Justin Trudeau... Prime Minister of Canada and leader of the Liberal Party, a person whom every Indian has come to know and recognize in the last one year. But the reason behind this is a controversy, the main reason for which is the baseless allegations made against India without any proof.
In September last year, Justin Trudeau had accused India of alleged involvement in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Nijjar. On June 18, Nijjar was shot dead in the parking area of a gurdwara in Canada.
A few months after this, Trudeau started accusing India for the Nijjar murder case, after which the dispute between the two countries is now at its peak. On one hand, Canada's foreign minister is threatening to impose sanctions on India, while on the other hand, India has also retaliated against Canada by expelling its 6 diplomats.
Trudeau is in trouble at home after taking on India
Justin Trudeau is being criticized a lot for this entire controversy, on Wednesday he himself admitted that his government has not given any concrete evidence to India regarding the Nijjar murder case. He seems to be surrounded in his home i.e. Canada regarding this entire matter. Canadian media has described the tension between the two countries as a 'diplomatic war', while experts believe that Trudeau's attitude on the Nijjar issue shows his immaturity.
This is not the first case when Canada has been embarrassed due to Trudeau's attitude. There have been many such cases before when Trudeau has been embroiled in controversies and many times he has been seen apologizing publicly.
