Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister Ali Sabry has condemned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent statements, accusing him of coming out with outrageous allegations without any supporting proof.

Minister Ali Sabry made the comment while speaking to Indian media ANI on the tensions between India and Canada. 

Canada-India relations have been rocked by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegation that the Indian government assassinated a Sikh independence activist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, on Canadian soil.  

Commenting on the matter, Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister Ali Sabry stated that some of the terrorists have found safe haven in Canada.

Stating that the Canadian PM has this way of just coming out with some outrageous allegations without any supporting proof, Minister Sabry said, “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.” 

Pointing out that the Canadian PM had given a rousing welcome to somebody who had associated with the Nazis in the past during the Second World War, Minister Sabry said, “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,” Minister Sabry added. (NewsWire)
