Former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Monday revealed deep problem over the degrading partnership in between India and Canada and declared that Canadian federal government patronises a terrorist or a separatist activity for political gains, which is untrustworthy and to a factor bad guy.
“Some countries that permit a separatist movement to exist in their jurisdiction are keeping such movements in check, but in the case of Canada, a government that patronises a terrorist or a separatist movement for political gain, is irresponsible and to a point criminal,” stated Singh in a four-page declaration uploaded on X.
The declaration comes in the middle of the existing situation in Indo-Canadian connections, intensified by an affirmed Khalistani strike on a Hindu holy place in Canada’s Brampton.

Expressing solid objection of Trudeau, Singh insisted that selecting gains show up to exceed enduring global partnerships.
“It is not often that countries, friends for decades, should end up as have Canada and India today. The assassination of a person of extreme separatist views Hardeep Singh Nijjar, led to the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau pointing his finger, in a parliamentary statement, towards India as being responsible for this act,” he stated.
Singh stated Trudeau later on specified that he really did not have concrete proof, yet that fingers aimed because instructions.
“This itself is a violation of the sanctity of Parliament where a prime ministerial statement is taken as the truth and nothing but the truth,” he included.
For Trudeau, he stated, selecting obsessions appear to be more vital than years old partnerships, nationwide dedications and age old legislative customs.
Recalling his very own experiences with Canada’s strategy to Sikh extremism throughout his period as Punjab Chief Minister, Singh insisted that Trudeau had actually formerly neglected and also sustained separatist components for political gain.
“Some years ago when I was Chief Minister of Punjab, I was aware of Canada’s approach to Sikh extremism being prevalent in that country, which was fast growing to which Trudeau not only turned a blind eye, but also patronised such people to enhance his political base. He sent his defence minister a Sikh, to Punjab, I refused to meet him, as he himself was an active member of the World Sikh Organization, at that time the parent body of the Khalistani movement, which was then presided over by none other than his father,” stated Singh.
Recounting his conference with Trudeau in Punjab months later on, Singh stated he offered a listing of people associated with the Khalistani activity, several of whom became part of Trudeau’s closet.
“Some months later Trudeau visited Punjab and refused to meet me till he was told in no uncertain terms by the then External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj that if he did not meet the Chief Minister, he could not visit the state. We met in Amritsar, he was accompanied by his Defence Minister Sajjan, I presume an attempt to get one up on me! I told him in no uncertain terms of Punjab’s problems with Canada,” Singh stated in the declaration.
Despite assures to deal with these worries, Singh regreted that extremist tasks have actually just heightened because that experience, negatively influencing Punjab’s security and economic situation.
“It had become a haven of the Khalistani separatist movement, which no Punjabi wanted, and also of gun running, drugs and gangsters. I handed him a list of over twenty leading individuals who were actively involved in this movement, some were also members of his cabinet, one of whom was sitting beside him. I was promised that he would look into these grievances.
“On the contrary, since our meeting these nefarious activities have grown. The Kanishka bombing is now out of his mind and so are the other acts that continue to destabilise Punjab. Our economy continues to stagnate as Industry always enters when it visualises peace and stability,” included Singh.
He stated currently the mobsters prevail, tools are easily utilized.
“Agriculture is becoming non profitable regardless of the increase in the state’s overall production, as input prices of fertilizers, oil and other essentials are becoming prohibitive, the minimum support price increases marginally on an annual basis.
“The reason is obvious! The purchase by the FCI is meant for food security, and an affordable price that the under-privileged of the country can afford. If the MSP goes up so does the consumer price to the millions of our poor,” he included.
As Trudeau encounters upcoming political elections, Singh stated that the Prime Minister’s current activities– such as cutting polite connections and linking Indian authorities– mirror a determined effort to draw away focus from his residential obstacles.
He wrapped up with positive outlook, stating that a secure and participating partnership in between India and Canada might cause a brighter future for Punjab and India overall.
