News Brief
PM Narendra Modi with Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.
In a recent turn of events, the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and his delegation found themselves stranded in Delhi for an extended period of 36 hours due to a technical issue with their plane following their participation in the G20 Summit.
Originally scheduled to depart two days after their arrival in Delhi on September 8th, the delegation faced an unexpected delay.
India, showing a gesture of goodwill, offered the use of its aircraft, 'Air India One,' to expedite Trudeau's return home, ANI has reported.
This incident occurred in the midst of strained relations between India and Canada, with New Delhi consistently raising concerns over Toronto's reluctance to take action against elements associated with the Khalistani movement. India has linked this reluctance to what it perceives as the Trudeau government's engagement in "vote bank politics."
During discussions held on the sidelines of the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his apprehensions to Trudeau regarding the ongoing activities of Khalistani elements on Canadian soil.
Ultimately, Trudeau and his delegation finally departed from India on Tuesday, ending their unexpected and prolonged stay in Delhi.
