‘Football is not kicking around you in India’: East-Pentagon official Rubin on relations with Canada; Call Khalistan, Nijar Number ‘Trudez Fiction’ | Bharat News

New Delhi: East-Pantagon official Michael Rubin criticized Justin Trudeau’s approach to India and said that it is “not a football you kick around but a colleague you try to hug”. Issuing Khalistan and Hardip Singh Nijar- the main reason behind the sour of India-Canada- “Stories of Trudeau”, Rubin appreciated Mark Karney for an effort to reconstruct relations with India.“India is not a football that you kick around. It is an associate that is to be hugged”, Rubin said in a special interview with ANI.“Complaints about Hardip Singh Nijjar and Khalistan movement were not real. They were exaggerated that Justin Trudeau enforced … Justin Trudeau wanted so much to appeal to radical Sikh extremists in various constituencies that he was ready to take an organized crime between various Sikh groups and mafias and blamed an external power for this. This is a problem of Justin Trudeau. But now that Justin Trudeau has gone and the probability will never return to power, the Prime Minister Carney is taking a quiet approach and recognizing that he is not going to be bound by Justin Trudeau’s stories, “he said.Unlike Trudeau’s approach to India with the current Canadian PM Mark Carney, he said, “Mark Carney is working on repairing the relationship instead of Justin Trudeau, instead of going under a rabbit hole, already indicates that Prime Minister Carney is a more serious person than the former Prime Minister of Canada … Canada needs to show his good faith now.”“Canada’s relation with India, especially under Justin Trudeau, was not a royal. It was all virtuous signaling and politics. The fact of the fact that India is important for Canada, and Canada needs to decide whether it is eventually going with democracy like India and the United States, or whether it is going to carry forward the Justin Trudeau and is important interested in China.Talking about Carney’s invitation to PM Narendra Modi for the G7 Summit, Rubin said, “Canadian PM Mark Carney was originally a banker. He understands India’s importance. Justin Trudeau was a politician who was in image and imagination, and hence it is understandable that Karney wants to restore maturity for relationship.”He said, “It makes sense for Prime Minister Modi to show that the problem was not Canada itself, but Justin Trudeau’s immaturity and disabilities.”Canada will host the upcoming G7 summit from 15 to 17 June, gathering the world’s top industrial nations – France, Germany, Italy, UK, Japan, America and Canada – with the European Union and International Bodies such as IMF, World Bank and United Nations. The summit will focus on major global issues, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and increasing tension in West Asia.
