Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has opened his mouth about the peasant movement in India. Peasant protests in India were no longer confined to the country. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also expressed his condolences to farmers in India. India has given a strong response. Trudeau has no right to comment on the internal affairs of India.

For the past two months, there has been a growing anger among Indian farmers. A large part of the farmers of Punjab and Haryana were protesting against the three new agricultural laws and the amendments made by the Modi government. In the last week it has taken on another dimension. Thousands of farmers with trolley tractors have virtually surrounded Delhi. They had to cross Haryana, ruled by the BJP, on their way from Punjab to the Delhi border. There have been clashes between farmers and the police. The more the farmers got through the police barricades, the more the baton load on them increased. Tear gas is being fired. In the dead of night, the weary peasants were attacked with water cannons.

The treatment of farmers, first by Haryana and later by the Delhi police, has sparked protests across the country. This time the protest is from far away Canada.

Please note that a large number of Punjabis live in Canada. Punjabis also have an important role to play in Canadian politics. As a result, the issue of Punjab is a topic of discussion in that country’s socio-politics. Last November 30th was the birthday of Sikh Guru Guru Nanak. The issue was also discussed in the Canadian Parliament. While paying tribute to Guru Nanak, Prime Minister Trudeau brought up the subject of India. He said the treatment of farmers by the Indian police was unfair. Movement is a right in any democratic country. It should not be underestimated. Not only Trudeau, but also Conservative leaders have said the same thing.

Trudeau was the first international to open his mouth to the peasant movement in India. The Indian Foreign Ministry responded to the Canadian Prime Minister’s remarks a day later. Foreign Ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said in a statement that no one has the right to speak on the internal affairs of India. Trudeau’s comments are not acceptable. India is a sovereign democratic country. No one has the right to sniff out the internal affairs of this country. Source: Deutsche Welle
