Trudeau mentions ‘rule of law, human rights’ in congratulatory post for PM Modi

The Canadian PM's post came days after a report by a high-level Canadian parliamentary panel concluded that India was the second biggest foreign threat to the country's democracy after China.

Canada stands ready to work with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, Justin Trudeau, the country's prime minister, said on Thursday morning in his congratulatory message on X.

The Canadian PM's post came days after a report by a high-level Canadian parliamentary panel concluded that India was the second biggest foreign threat to the country's democracy after China.

Justin Trudeau, who has been spearheading Canada's tirade against India over the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year, said the country is ready to work with the Modi government to advance relations "anchored to human rights, diversity, and the rule of law".

"Congratulations to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his electoral victory. Canada stands ready to work with its government to advance the relationship between our nations’ peoples—anchored to human rights, diversity, and the rule of law," his office quoted him as saying.
