There has been tension between Canada and India for a long time. Meanwhile, while wishing Diwali, PM Justin Trudeau has assured the Hindus of security in the country. So that they can follow their religion. A statement from the Prime Minister's Office said that in November we celebrate Hindu Heritage Month in Canada. We celebrate Diwali together with the community.

The statement said Diwali is a special festival for Hindu Canadians, who make up one of the largest and most diverse immigrant populations in Canada. We will always stand with Hindu Canadians to ensure their safety so that they can practice their religion freely and proudly.

Trudeau appreciated the contribution of people of Indian origin

Describing the contribution of people of Indian origin to Canada's development, Trudeau said, Diwali in Canada would not have been possible without our incredible Indo-Canadian community. A large number of Indian-Canadians represent the best of Canada in fields such as artists, entrepreneurs, doctors, teachers, business, community and culture. On Diwali, we celebrate him and the light he spread across Canadian communities.

“On behalf of all Canadians, I wish everyone a very happy Diwali,” Trudeau said in the statement. May this festival of lights bring us happiness, joy and prosperity.

India-Canada relations tense

Relations between the two countries had become strained in September last year when Trudeau alleged that Indian agents were involved in the murder of Khalistan supporter Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India has rejected Trudeau's allegations as 'absurd'. India says that the main issue between the two countries is that Canada is allowing pro-Khalistan elements from its soil without fear.

India has strongly refuted attempts by Canadian authorities to link Indian agents to criminal gangs in Canada.
