New Delhi: Reacting to the India-Canada diplomatic row, Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry on Monday said terrorists have found safe haven in Canada and their Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came out with the outrageous allegations without any proof.
Speaking exclusively to ANI, Sabry said he is “not surprised” by his remarks since Trudeau keeps making “outrageous and substantiated allegations.” 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,” he said speaking exclusively to news agency ANI.
Sabry also took a dig at Trudeau for honouring a former Nazi soldier in Canada’s parliament saying, “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. I am not surprised that sometimes PM Trudeau comes out with outrageous and substantiated allegations.” Notably, last Friday, during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech in the Canadian Parliament, 98-year-old Ukrainian Yaroslav Hunka, who served in the first Ukrainian division, also known as the SS division “Galicia” during World War II, was honoured by the Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons.
On Sri Lanka-Canada ties, Sabry said Trudeau’s “genocide” comment had affected the relationship. He also advised the Canadian PM not to interfere in the internal matters of a sovereign country, ANi reported.
