Justin Trudeau says Canada supports a united India
Visiting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose government's support to Khalistan groups has made New Delhi apprehensive, has reaffirmed his government's position on a united India.
"Canada's strength is that we have recognised that diversity is strength. Wide range of opinions and views are an important part of the success of Canada. We of course reject violence and hate speech. But at the same time let me assure that my position, Canada's position, has not changed. We support one, united India," Trudeau said at an event in Mumbai.
Trudeau's statement on the third day of his seven-day India visit came in the backdrop of concerns in India over his government's support to pro-Khalistan elements among the Sikh diaspora in Canada.
Canada has been unequivocal on its policy of a one united India

Many had asked if the Narendra Modi government's decision to downplay Trudeau's first state visit to India - there has been no welcome tweet from Modi or Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj - is in retaliation to Canada's backing of Khalistan groups.
