CM welcomes Canadian Position

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in February welcomed a statement by two Canadian

                                                   Mr Harjit Sajjan

“The latest statements by Sajjan and Sohi, who has also made it clear that he does not sympathise with the (Khalistani) cause, have paved the way for better relations with Canada, which shares strong roots with India in view of the large Sikh population settled there,” Mr Singh said. The Chief Minister was upset with Canadian authorities earlier as the Indian-origin Ministers and some MPs in Canada had openly supported the secessionists’ agenda for Khalistan. The Canadian Government, under Mr Trudeau, had objected to Amarinder Singh’s Canada visit in April 2016 to meet Non-Resident Indians ahead of Punjab’s assembly elections in February 2017.
