Punjab CM gives Khalistanis` list to Trudeau |
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the six ministers who accompanied him to Amritsar. In his 30-minute-long meeting with Trudeau, which he described as “positive”, Amarinder said they have discussed a wide range of issues including issues of trade, cooperation in agriculture and service sector. The meeting assumes significance as Amarinder, who was upset with Canada for not denouncing the Khalistan movement, had previously said he was not interested in entertaining anyone from the Canadian administration. Last year, Amarinder did not meet Canadian Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan Singh during the latter`s visit to the state. On the issue of Sikh extremist groups in Canada, Amarinder said he gave a list of names of those involved in the Khalistan movement in Canada to the prime minister. He added that Trudeau told him that Canada supports a united India and any differences of opinion will be resolved through appropriate channels. Earlier in the day, Trudeau and his family visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Justin Trudeau, however, mentioned in the visitor book that he was well received at Golden Temple. Trudeau was also honoured inside the sanctum sanctorum of the Golden Temple.
