'Justin Trudeau Laughing Stock In India': Canada's Opposition Leader Amid Diplomatic Row
In an interview with Nepalese media outlet Namaste Radio Toronto, Poilievre said, "Justin Trudeau is considered a laughing stock in India – the world's biggest democracy."
New Delhi: Canada’s opposition leader Pierre Poilievre strongly criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the diplomatic dispute with India and said that Trudeau is considered a "laughing stock in India".
It is to be noted that Poilievre is the preferred choice to become Canada's next prime minister as his party is leading the incumbent Liberal Party by over double digits, as per the latest polls.
In an interview with Nepalese media outlet Namaste Radio Toronto, Poilievre said, "Justin Trudeau is considered a laughing stock in India – the world's biggest democracy."
When asked about the "bitter situation" in the Canada-India relationship, the leader of the Conservative Party said, "This is another example of how Justin Trudeau is not worth the cost after eight long years. He has turned Canadians against each other at home and he has blown up our relations abroad. He is so incompetent and unprofessional that now we are in major disputes with every major power in the world, and that includes India."
During the interview, he promised that he will restore a “professional relationship” with India if he becomes the next Prime Minister.
"We need a professional relationship with the Indian government. India is the largest democracy on Earth and it's fine to have our disagreements and hold each other accountable, but we have to have a professional relationship and that is what I will restore when I am prime minister of this country," he added.
Training his guns on Trudeau over his handling of foreign policy, Poilievre claimed that US President Joe Biden was walking all over the Canadian PM and treated him like a doormat.
"After eight years of Trudeau, our reputation is in tatters. Beijing is interfering in our country, opening police stations in Canada to abuse our people. Justin Trudeau is considered a laughing stock in India, the world's biggest democracy. President Biden is walking all over Trudeau and treating him like a doormat and slapping him around like a rag doll," he said.
He further stated that Trudeau was an embarrassment to Canada and that he can't remain as the country's prime minister.
"Then you have his incredible embarrassment where he brought a Nazi to parliament when the Ukraine president was in our chamber. Every day, and every way, Justin Trudeau is an embarrassment to Canada and to all Canadians and we can't keep him as prime minister," he added.
The leader of the Conservative Party also condemned the attacks on the Hindu temple in Canada. "I strongly condemn all of the attacks on Hindu mandirs, the threats against Hindu leaders. The aggression shown to Indian diplomats at public events is totally unacceptable. I think there should be criminal charges laid against anyone who attacks either the property or people at Hindu mandirs, just like anywhere else," he said.
