Trudeau Bhai stranded but declines services of ‘AIR INDIA ONE’ when offered
Trudeau, who arrived in India for the G20 Summit on Friday, had to extend his stay in the national capital after a technical snag on his Airbus plane on Sunday night.
India immediately offered services of aircraft ‘Air India One’ to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after his special aircraft developed a technical glitch shortly before his departure from New Delhi after the G20 Summit, as per reports.
However the Canadian side declined the offer and called for an alternate aircraft to take PM Trudeau and his delegate back to their country. Trudeau chose to wait for the backup aircraft instead.
The alternate aircraft which was expected to arrive in New Delhi on Monday night also had an unscheduled diversion to London, further delaying the Canadian Prime Minister’s departure from India. It was reported that the Royal Canadian Air Force sent a CC-150 Polaris from CFB Trenton to India on Sunday night to pick up Justin Trudeau and the Canadian delegation. Canada’s National Defence had said that the issue involves a part that must be replaced.
Canadian PM Trudeau and his delegation departed from the national capital on Tuesday afternoon after being stranded here for two days.
Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State (MoS) for Electronics and Information Technology thanked Trudeau for his presence at the G20 Summit on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Canada-based CBC News reported that Trudeau continued to work from his hotel in New Delhi.
Meanwhile, in addition to attending the G20 Summit, Trudeau held a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the Summit in New Delhi. During the meeting, PM Modi raised “strong concerns” about the continuous “anti-India activities” by extremist elements in Canada, and stated that it is essential for the two countries to cooperate in dealing with such threats.
Trudeau, while responding on the issue, told the media that Canada will always defend “freedom of expression”, and at the same time will always be there to “prevent violence”.
India should urge all countries of G20 to send all those criminals to Canada which will help them to defend “ their freedom of expression “.
