**Canadian PM Faces Political Pressure While Criticizing Conservative Party and India**
As allegations of foreign interference in Canadian politics swirl, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finds himself on the defensive, facing mounting criticism from within his own party. In a bold move on Wednesday, Trudeau publicly condemned both the Conservative opposition and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling India’s involvement in the assassination of a Sikh activist a “horrific mistake.”
During a day of testimony at a federal inquiry into foreign interference, Trudeau directed sharp criticism at Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, claiming he has information about party members potentially compromised by foreign influences. He accused Poilievre of not taking the issue seriously by refusing to undergo a security clearance to access such information.
In response to these allegations, a Conservative representative accused Trudeau of using the situation for political theater, referring to his comments as “grandstanding.” Trudeau admitted that his concerns about foreign interference extend beyond just the Conservative Party, indicating that members of his own Liberal Party and other political parties may also be at risk.
The tense exchange highlights the complications arising from allegations of foreign government meddling in Canada’s democratic processes, showcasing a political landscape fraught with accusations and intensifying scrutiny.
