Canada called India the second biggest threat, what did Trudeau say while congratulating PM Modi on his victory

Canada is ready to work with the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The country’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in his congratulatory message on Thursday morning that after China, India is the second biggest foreign threat to the country’s democracy. Justin Trudeau is leading Canada’s attack against India over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year. Trudeau said that the country is ready to work with the Modi government to advance relations based on human rights, diversity and the rule of law.

Congratulations to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his election victory. “Canada stands ready to work with your government to advance ties between our peoples based on human rights, diversity and the rule of law,” his office quoted him as saying. Canada and India are locked in a diplomatic row over allegations that Indian agents on Canadian soil plotted Nijjar’s assassination. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the single largest party in India’s general elections held on June 4. The BJP won 240 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament, a significant drop in the number of seats.

The BJP fell 32 short of a simple majority, forcing it to rely on its National Democratic Alliance allies. Modi is likely to take oath of office on June 8. Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was designated a terrorist by India’s National Investigation Agency in 2020, was shot dead outside a gurdwara in Surrey, Canada last year. Meanwhile, referring to the report, Justin Trudeau said his government takes the matter of foreign interference ‘very seriously’.
