Notably, Jaspal Atwal was convicted and sentenced for attacking an Indian minister in Canada in 1986. The Indian media asserted that the photograph was an proof of it’s allegations against the Canadian Prime Minister that he and his government was facilitating Canadian Sikhs, who support the cause of an Independent Sikh state called Khalistan to be established in the Indian subcontinent. Trudeau has disapproved Jaspal Atwal’s presence during the event.
However, it came into light soon that Jaspal Atwal has been visiting India for past few years and he has been in touch with Indian officials, including India’s Ministry of External Affairs.
Canadian officials had maintained that Indian establishment had facilitated Jaspal Atwal’s presence during the Mumbai event.
An open admission from an Official of India’s Ministry of External Affairs has exposed the fabrication by Indian Media.
