Justin Trudeau is in a tight spot, so pleasing this particular constituency has become important, said .Sanjay Kumar Verma

Senior diplomat Sanjay Kumar Verma,  envoy to Canada who was recently recalled, told NDTV today that there are some in Justin Trudeau administration who are anti-India and the Canadian Prime Minister is politically close to Khalistanis. Mr Trudeau, he added, is in a tight spot, so pleasing this particular constituency has become important.

In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Mr Verma said, "Trudeau's ratings are going down in Canada... (so) his actions against India are politically motivated". 

"There are elements that want to hurt India-Canada ties... Many in Trudeau government are anti-India".
