Canada upset with Amarinder Singh

New Delhi: Canada on Thursday described as “disappointing and inaccurate” the purported comments allegedly made by Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh that five ministers in the Justin Trudeau government, including defence minister Harjit Sajjan, were “Khalistani sympathisers”.

According to news agency reports, Mr. Singh had earlier alleged that Sajjan like his father is a “Khalistani sympathiser”.  He also said that he would not meet him during his scheduled visit to India later this month.

“There were, in fact, five ministers in the Justin Trudeau government who were Khalistani sympathisers and I will not have any truck with them,” Singh was quoted by news agencies as having claimed.
