Ujjal Dosanjh made these remarks in an interview he gave to India Today.
Ujjal Dosanjh mentioned, “When you expel a diplomat, the country reacts in what is called a tit-for-tat move. Trudeau made a statement in the House of Commons, catapulting this issue to a sky-high level. There is very little trust on either side. India does not trust Trudeau because he has been seen hobnobbing with the Khalistanis ever since his leadership campaign. One of his most senior advisors and cabinet ministers was alleged to have been Khalistanis. He is now supported in government by Jagmeet Singh, who is a known Khalistani.”
He added, “The other reason India does not want to trust Trudeau is because they (members of the Canadian government) always take refuge under freedom of expression… that everyone has the right to express. But if you consider India a friendly country and a fellow democracy, then you have an obligation as the leader of Canada to tell your citizens that look guys, you have the right to demand Khalistan but my government does not support the dismemberment of a friendly nation. They never said that. In fact, no Canadian politician has said that.”

Explaining extra on why the Khalistani motion flourished in Canada, he mentioned, “When you have a leadership that isn’t prepared to tell its citizens that please don’t try to dismember a friendly country and we don’t support what you are doing, then it feels like you are explicitly supporting them under the garb of freedom of expression which the members of the Canadian government do. Then it becomes natural for the movement to take hold and grow.”
Ujjal Dosanjh famous that inside Canadian politics, the Khalistani motion is commonly considered as a battle between teams of so-called brown people, moderately than recognised as an try and destabilise India, which has been a pleasant nation. He talked about that following the violence in 1984 between Khalistani supporters and people opposing them, sadly, many Canadian politicians remained detached, believing it was an inside problem amongst so-called browns. It wasn’t till the Air India catastrophe occurred that Canadian politicians started to take discover, he mentioned.
He added, “The Khalistan movement is going to stay here in Canada only. When you go to India, when you live in Punjab, you live with non-Sikhs. They are your friends and family. They intermarry, they study and work together. All of the anger of 1984 has disappeared over time.”
Ujjal Dosanjh additionally talked about that Sikhs in Canada appear to have an affect with Trudeau higher than they’d with anyone else. He mentioned that earlier than Trudeau and hopefully after him, the Khalistanis wouldn’t have such sway. He clarified, “I mean the Sikh community having an influence is a wonderful thing. But if separatist elements hold such an influence, then it’s a problem.”

He opined that Trudeau inherently has some issues regardless of him getting help from Jagmeet Singh. He mentioned. “I have seen videos of Jagmeet Singh years ago speaking at sovereignty conferences on Khalistan. He is a known Khalistani and now he supports Trudeau in the government. Even before Jagmeet came on the scene, Trudeau was who he was. The only difference now is that you have two of them to deal with in the government.”

Keeping it in a diplomatic tone, Ujjal Dosanjh mentioned, “Trudeau hasn’t shared the evidence with anybody and it is not known what kind of evidence it is. You can criticise him for not putting on record any evidence, but it is difficult to condemn him for what he did. Because if he indeed has the evidence, then what he said is legitimate, irrespective of whether he should have handled it the way he has. That’s why even Canadians are asking him for evidence.”
