Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s troubles seem to be increasing. Now the news is that the leaders of the Liberal Party have demanded his resignation. Trudeau has also been given a deadline to step down from the post of party leader. The special thing is that this is happening at a time when relations between India and Canada have become sour. Trudeau had declared former High Commissioner of India Sanjay Kumar Verma as a person of interest in the investigation of a case.
The news agency has quoted CBC News as saying that efforts to remove Trudeau have intensified in the Liberal Party. During a recent closed-door meeting, MPs expressed their problems to Trudeau. There is news that Trudeau is facing dissatisfaction in his own party. The MPs have given him the date of October 28 to decide on his future.
Joe Biden’s example
There are reports that 24 MPs have signed to remove Trudeau from the post of Liberal Chief. During the meeting held on Wednesday, British Columbia MP Patrick Wheeler presented a document in favor of Trudeau’s resignation. It was told that when US President Joe Biden had decided not to contest the elections, the Democrats seemed to be getting the lead. The document says that the same could happen in the case of the Liberal Party also.
According to the report, in the 3-hour long meeting, no cabinet minister appealed to Trudeau to step down. At the same time, it is being said that some MPs also came in support of Trudeau. It is believed that tensions with India could also be a reason for the political turmoil in Canada.
India and Canada
Last year, Trudeau had expressed in Parliament the possibility of the murder of Khalistani Hardeep Singh Nijjar being linked to the Indian government. Since then, relations between the two countries had turned sour. At the same time, India had denied the allegations. Nijjar was declared a terrorist by the NIA in 2020. He was shot dead in Surrey in June 2023.
