Sep 10, 2023
New Delhi, September 10 (ANI): Canadian PM Justin Trudeau held bilateral talks with PM Modi on the sidelines of G20 Leaders’ Summit. As he visited India for G20 Summit, he asserted that PM Modi discussed Khalistani extremism issues with him. Reacting to it, Justin Trudeau said that “actions of a few do not represent the entire community or Canada”. “Obviously, Canada will always defend freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful protest. That is something extremely important to us. At the same time, we are always there to prevent violence to push back against hatred. I think on the issue of community, it is important to remember that the actions of the few, do not represent the entire community or Canada. The flip side of it, we also highlighted the importance of respecting the rule of law and we did talk about foreign interference,” said Justin Trudeau. Khalistani extremism against India has been witnessed in countries like Canada, US and UK. In an exclusive interview with ANI, UK PM Rishi Sunak also condemned the violent acts.
