Canada: Are Indian media really interested in Trudeau-Modi meet?
Ottawa, Feb 7 (IBNS): Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be on his maiden India visit later this month but some sections of Indian media seem to be not much interested, media reports said.
The Indian media seems to be upset with the growing Sikh terrorism in Canada.
One of the Indian magazines, Outlook India, mocked Trudeau referring to him as "Khalistan II. Made in Canada".
The magazine consists of few articles about Canada's alleged involvement with Sikh independence movement in Punjab, India.
The articles were supplemented by an interview of Punjab Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh.
The Sikh nationalist movement is a movement which aims to make Punjab region of India, a separate country named Khalistan.
Trudeau will visit India with a primary aim to develop and strengthen the trade relations between the two nations.
Trudeau will tour India between Feb 17 and 23.
The Canada PM will visit Agra, Amritsar, Ahmedabad, Mumbai and New Delhi during his stay in India.
Trudeau will engage with Indian leaders in talks related to government and business, empowerment of women and girls and economic ties between the two countries.
He will discuss the ways with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create good, middle class jobs for people of both the nations.
Apart from bilateral talks, Trudeau is scheduled to visit prominent Indian places like Taj Mahal in Agra, Golden Temple in Amritsar and Swaminarayan Akshardham in Gujarat.
Last month, both the leaders had met on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
