Canadian PM has this way of just coming out with some outrageous allegations without any supporting proof: SL minister
Speaking exclusively to ANI, Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry has slammed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over his baseless allegations on India.
Sabry said he is “not surprised” by his remarks since Trudeau keeps making “outrageous and substantiated allegations.”
Reacting to the India-Canada diplomatic row the Sri Lankan minister said, “Some of the terrorists have found safe haven in Canada. 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.”
Sabry added, “That has actually affected our relationship. The Foreign Ministry has a different take on that. Ministry of Global Affairs has very clearly said that Sri Lanka did not go through a genocide, whereas PM Trudeau as a politician stands up and says that genocide had taken place. That itself is contradictory to each other. That doesn’t help.”
The Sri Lankan minister also took a dig at Trudeau for honouring a former Nazi soldier in Canada’s parliament. He said, “I saw yesterday he had gone and given a rousing welcome to somebody who have 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.”
He also advised the Canadian PM not to interfere in the internal matters of a sovereign country.
“I don’t think anyone should poke their nose into other countries and tell as to how we should govern our country. We love our country more than anyone else. That’s why we are in our country. We are not very happy about that statement at all. Indian Ocean identity is very important and we need to strengthen the regional architecture. We have to look after our region. We need to work together. That’s how we can create a peaceful environment. We should not be dictated by anyone else as to how we should conduct our affairs,” Sabry further added.
