The arrival of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in New Delhi marks a pivotal moment in India-Canada diplomacy. Congress parliamentarian Pramod Tiwari welcomed him heartily, pinning hopes on enhanced protections for Indians residing in Canada.
Tiwari traced the deep-rooted friendship between the two nations, crediting visionaries like Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and Manmohan Singh for its strength. However, he sharply criticized the current scenario under BJP rule, where Canadian Indians endure attacks and terrorism finds sanctuary.
With PM Modi’s meetings on the horizon, Tiwari called for uncompromising anti-terror measures and complete safety guarantees for the diaspora.
Turning to domestic politics, he rejoiced at Uday Bhanu Chib’s bail in the AI Summit protest matter, terming it a slap to BJP’s dictatorial tendencies and attack on expression rights. Confidence in judicial fairness for falsely implicated youth leaders was reaffirmed.
The clearance of Kejriwal and Sisodia in the liquor policy scam drew a pointed response from Tiwari, linking it to impending Gujarat and Punjab polls. He endorsed Pawan Khera’s in-depth analysis of BJP’s manipulative tactics.
Carney’s tour underscores ongoing tensions, with Tiwari amplifying voices for NRI welfare and political integrity.
