India Canada Tension: The troubles of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who spewed venom against India, have increased. The MPs of his own party have no confidence in him. A group of MPs within the ruling Liberal Party in Canada is pressuring Justin Trudeau to step down. CBC News, citing sources, said discontent has reached a fever pitch after recent by-election losses in Toronto and Montreal, leading to several secret meetings between disgruntled MPs. These MPs want to remove Justin Trudeau from the post of Prime Minister and at least 20 leaders have signed the document for a change in leadership.
In June this year, Trudeau's party suffered a surprising defeat in the Toronto-St. Paul by-election, after which tremendous dissatisfaction has been growing in his party. This unrest increased with the return of Parliament and further increased following the defeat in a Montreal by-election. The absence of Trudeau and his chief of staff Katie Telford from the recent summit in Asia gave frustrated lawmakers an opportunity to meet and strategize going forward. Earlier, an earlier article in the Toronto Star on Friday had also detailed efforts to publicly pressure Trudeau, 52, to step down. The newspaper reported that at least 30 to 40 MPs are ready to sign a letter.
Liberal Party MPs want to put pressure on Trudeau
However, the actual figures may be slightly less than the numbers mentioned in the article. Trudeau's Liberal Party has 153 seats in the House of Commons of Canada. The document, signed by the dissenting leaders, is described as a pledge rather than a traditional letter, aimed at securing a commitment from MPs for Trudeau to resign, thereby creating a binding agreement should there be opposition from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). Can go. “This is an insurance policy. We had to act before the pressure from the PMO increased,” an MP who signed the document told CBC. Meanwhile, Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng, who is returning to Canada from Laos with Trudeau, said she was disappointed to read about the lawmakers' plan, and that she has full confidence in the prime minister.

While speaking in Parliament, he had linked this murder to India. On June 18, 2023, Nijjar was shot dead outside a Gurudwara in Surrey, Canada. After this Trudeau accused India of this murder. However, this was immediately rejected by India. After this the relations between India and Canada deteriorated.
