Ottawa. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation today out of compulsion. Trudeau was facing problems from dissidents within his own party. According to reports, a group of about 20 disgruntled Liberal MPs had signed a document calling for a change in leadership. After this, Trudeau resigned from the post of leader of the Liberal Party to avoid embarrassment at the Liberal National Caucus meeting on Wednesday. However, he can remain in office as interim Prime Minister until a new leader is elected.
According to experts who know Canadian politics closely, the pressure on Trudeau was increasing due to many reasons. One reason for this is the party’s defeat in the by-elections in Montreal and Toronto. Along with this, the resentment within the party went against Trudeau regarding many policy decisions. Trudeau’s resignation has fueled speculation about the future of the Liberal Party and the possibility of early elections. The survey clearly states that there is only a 28 percent chance that Trudeau will be re-elected.
Tension in India-Canada relations
According to top sources of the Indian government, Justin Trudeau has been unpopular for a long time. Trudeau’s allegations of foreign interference by India led to diplomatic tensions between the two countries. Which India has strongly denied. Meanwhile, India accused Trudeau of creating drama to divert attention from its domestic challenges. According to experts, no world leader spoils diplomatic relations with any superpower without any reason. His Khalistani card did not play well. They are opposing him now. Instead of handling the economy and managing the new US administration, he was busy giving shelter to Gurpatwant Singh Pannu and other Khalistani terrorists.
