Canada -India

‪Even after days Justin Trudeau hasn’t revealed any evidence supporting his allegations against India. That shows his statement indeed was made without content and perhaps could have been reaction to supposed ill treatment he received during his recent visit to Delhi. As responsible leader he should not have let himself provoked by any superficial cold shouldering at Delhi, and dealt with it diplomatically through professional channels and professionally himself. At the same time India must relook at role of non-state people and even irresponsible media who were making public fun of a senior visiting dignitary during G20. When he was here social media particularly from handles supporting governing party were berserk on cracking jokes on him which escalated to frenzy when his return was held up due to technical reasons and he had to overstay. This is condemnable and against our traditions of respecting a guests and diplomats particularly. However obviously he is not expected to lower himself under this provocation and should have responded with maturity rather than forwarding publicly such baseless accusations against India. It’s time for deescalation now for both sides and to sit on table. We all understand who would be more at loss here as the world watches.
