Bangladesh Foreign Minister Abdul Momen while terming the diplomatic tensions between India and Canada “a sad episode” has expressed hope of it ending amicably.

SGPC which supports Khalistani terrorists must be thoroughly investigated and if any Khalistani supporters are found, a stringent action must be taken against them.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau honoured a Nazi veteran officer who fought in World War II by giving him a standing ovation.
David Eby, the Premier of British Columbia Province, has stated that the information that was shared by Trudeau about the killing of Nijjar was already available on the internet.
