Trudeau’s India vacation has turned into a full blown disaster.
Justin Trudeau’s India vacation may go down as the worst foreign trip by a Canadian PM in decades.
A specific concern has been the perceived ties between the Trudeau government and Khalistani terrorists – ties the government tried to deny.
But then, it emerged that the Trudeau government entourage (they’re trying to pin it on Liberal MP Randeep Sarai), had invited Jaspal Atwal – a convicted attempted murderer and former member of a banned Khalistani terrorist group – to a state dinner with Trudeau.
This has caused massive outrage in India, and the media there is demanding answers.
Below, watch as a Trudeau photo-op gets interrupted with an actual legitimate question, as a journalist with ANI asks Trudeau why a “Khalistani terrorist” was given an invite:

Trudeau has since said the invite should not have gone to Atwal, yet the PMO was almost certainly aware of it, and didn’t do anything until the media reported on it.
It seems the only real concern for Trudeau is that he got caught, as he seems to have been close to Atwal for some time, as the photos below shared by great journalist Candice Malcolm reveal:

Found one more photo of Justin Trudeau with Jaspal Atwal. Judging by Trudeau's long hair, they've known each other for a while. pic.twitter.com/Sx12fBSSo8

This is a huge scandal.
Trudeau is in numerous photos with a convicted terrorist who attempted to murder a politician from an allied nation on Canadian soil.
It’s a total disgrace to our country, and Trudeau must be held accountable for his closeness to such odious figures.
