Terrorists have found safe haven in Canada, says Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry
Sabry on Monday said that terrorists have found safe haven in the North American country and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has this way of coming out with outrageous allegations.
While speaking exclusively with ANI, the Sri Lankan Foreign Minister further added that he is «not surprised» by his comments as Trudeau comes out with «outrageous and substantiated allegations.»
«Some of the terrorists have found safe haven in Canada. The Canadian PM has this way of just coming out with some outrageous allegations without any supporting proof.
The same thing they did for Sri Lanka, a terrible, total lie about saying that Sri Lanka had a genocide. Everybody knows there was no genocide in our country», said Sri Lankan Foreign Minister.
Ties between India and Canada have been strained after Justin Trudeau on September 18 alleged India's involvement in the fatal shooting of Khalistan Tiger Force chief Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
Nijjar, who was a designated terrorist in India, was killed outside a Gurdwara in Canada's Surrey on June 18.
India, however, rejected the allegations, terming them «absurd» and «motivated».
Taking a dig at Trudeau for honouring a former Nazi soldier in Canada's parliament, he said, «I saw yesterday he had gone and given a rousing welcome to somebody who has associated with the Nazis in the past during the Second World War. So, this is questionable and we have dealt with it in the past.
