The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, and his delegation have left New Delhi on their way home after a delayed departure of nearly two days due to a technical glitch in the air force plane that brought them to the G 20 summit. Trudeau was the last foreign leader to leave India after summit over the weekend with the relief aircraft also having to be diverted to London. The Canadian leader and his team stayed back in the hotel with no official appointments during the time of delay.
Trudeau, according to many reports, did not have one of his best official trips overseas. The Canadian leader did not have a formal bilateral with his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, with his
brief interaction on the sidelines described as a “pull aside. Trudeau also did not attend the official dinner hosted by the President of India on Saturday evening for unexplained reasons; and in the
Rajghat ceremony on Sunday Trudeau was supposedly seen “pulling away” from the Indian Prime Minister.
Senior Indian officials have consistently taken umbrage at Ottawa’s reluctance to deal with Khalistani separatists resorting to violence against Indian diplomatic premises under the pretext of freedom of speech and expression. This issue has been raised several times in the past and is said to have been discussed even this time around in the leaders’ brief encounter. “It’s important to remember that actions of the few do not represent the entire community or Canada”, Trudeau has said.
