Amarinder remarks on Canadian ministers |
Terming Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh`s remarks against its Defence Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan both “disappointing and inaccurate”, Canada rejected the allegation that Mr. Sajjan and three cabinet colleagues were supporters of Sikh separatist groups, or “Khalistanis”. It regretted that the Chief Minister of Punjab is unavailable to meet with Canada`s Minister of Defence. The comments regarding Canada`s Ministers are both disappointing and inaccurate,” the Canadian High Commission in Delhi said about Captain Amarinder`s comments that have set off a political and diplomatic storm in India ahead of Mr. Sajjan`s visit from April 17-23. Speaking to the private news channel NDTV , Capt. Amarinder Singh had said he would depute a minister to receive Mr. Sajjan when the latter Punjab as he and other members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau`s cabinet of Sikh origin were “Khalistani sympathisers”.
