Canada-India emergency meeting: Tories say Trudeau "trying to distract" from Liberal party "revolt"
A Canadian parliamentary committee held an emergency meeting in Ottawa on Friday morning, addressing the new allegations of Indian foreign interference in Canada, as diplomatic tensions between the two countries further escalated this week. Recent developments saw Canada expel six Indian diplomats and consular officials “in relation to a targeted campaign against Canadian citizens by agents linked to the government of India,” according to the RCMP. “The Prime Minister is trying to distract from the fact that he has an ongoing revolt in his caucus looking to overthrow him. So it's no wonder why he's doing this,” alleged Conservative MP Raquel Dancho during the emergency meeting. She added “If he continues as a colleague sent to weaponize this, then he should release the names, because Canadians deserve to know who it is in Parliament right now… who has been undermining the national interest on purpose, to a to foreign country. They absolutely deserve to know that. And those individuals need to be held accountable.” Meanwhile, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said she's read the un-redacted report and that naming the individuals would be "placing at risk the lives of our intelligence assets around the world." She added that "The semi-witting or witting category of MPs have not committed acts that fall into the category of proactive betrayal of their country's interests... I have been warned by people in our security establishment [names] must not be shared publicly."
