| Canada will not support separatists, says Trudeau | | | Agencies
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday asserted that his country believed in a united India and assured the Punjab government that it would not support any separatist movement in India.
“Really happy to receive categorical assurance from Canadian PM Justin Trudeau that his country does not support any separatist movement. His words are a big relief to all of us here in India and we look forward to his government’s support in tackling fringe separatist elements,” tweeted Punjab Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh, who had a one-on-one meeting, that lasted nearly 40 minutes, with Mr. Trudeau here.
“I took up the issue pertaining to Khalistan as it is a matter of primary concern to us. He (Mr. Trudeau) is aware of it and has assured us that he is going to look into the matter,” said Capt. Singh after the meeting.
During the meeting, Capt. Singh sought the Canadian Prime Minister’s cooperation in cracking down on separatism and hate crime by a fringe element, constituting a minuscule percentage of Canada’s population. In response Mr. Trudeau assured Capt. Singh that “his country did not support any separatist movement in India or elsewhere.”
An official spokesperson said that while citing the separatist movement in Quebec, Mr. Trudeau said he had dealt with such threats all his life and was fully aware of the dangers of violence, which he had always pushed back with all his might. |
