As pictures of convicted Khalistani terrorist Jaspal Atwal posing with Justin Trudeau's wife Sophie at a Mumbai event went viral, the Canadian PM said that Atwal "should never have received an invitation". Justin Trudeau, on the back foot following the controversy, said, "As soon as we received the information, we rescinded it. A member of Parliament had included this individual".
Trudeau's office said that invitation to the convicted Khalistani terrorist for the Delhi reception has been revoked and is in the process of "looking into how this occurred". "The Member of Parliament who gave the invitation will be taking full responsibility for his actions," Trudeau's office said.
