OTTAWA - A day after India described as “baseless” the allegations by a senior Canadian national security official that “rogue” elements in New Delhi had used convicted Khalistani terrorist Jaspal Atwal to embarrass Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Canadian leader doubled down on having faith in such accusations on Thursday.
Trudeau reiterated his position as the opposition Conservative Party tabled a motion in Parliament.
Trudeau’s woes related to the fiasco in India shadowed him into the Parliament in Ottawa.
Trudeau reiterated his position, one described by the external affairs ministry as “baseless and unacceptable”, as he said on the floor of the House: “We believe them when they put forward their information and their recommendations to us.” He also said he had “faith” in these officials and the information they provided.
