Canada's Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan says his official visit to India has been "very productive" despite political tensions. Mr Sajjan says he has been able to bolster ties between India and Canada. Punjab's top elected official had accused him of sympathising with a Sikh independence movement, which he denies. Mr Sajjan also distanced himself from a recent motion passed by a Canadian provincial legislature describing 1984 anti-Sikh riots as "genocide". The Canadian minister's six-day trip is meant as an opportunity to strengthen security and defence relations between the two nations, and he has met with his Indian counterparts and business executives. But it hit turbulence when Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh alleged on a television program that Mr Sajjan was "a Khalistani sympathiser". The Khalistan movement seeks to create a separate independent Sikh homeland in the Sikh-dominated northern state of Punjab. |
