CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh has declined to meet the Canadian high commissioner, who had offered to meet him following the refusal of the Canadian government to allow him public interactions in that country.
Following Amarinder’s letter to the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, the Canadian High Commissioner had offered to meet him. Terming the approach of the Canadian government as “discriminatory”, Amarinder in his reply to the high commissioner said, “Representatives of ruling SAD-BJP alliance and Aam Aadmi Party, who had gone there before me, had been allowed to hold similar meetings.”
He also referred to complaint by Sikhs for Justice legal attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun saying, “I understand that this intervention against me took place on a letter written to your Ministry of Global Affairs by a known antagonist of India, a lawyer representing asylum seekers both in the US in New York, and in Toronto, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.”
