Ousted Former President Rajapaksa returns home

(Source of Images: Google Search from different reported news on Sri Lanka Crisis)

The ex-president, Gotabaya Rajapaksa has returned to Sri Lanka, after having fled abroad due to a mass protest in his country against his government.

In April, the whole of Sri Lanka blamed and began a mass protest against him and his government for bringing the downfall of the country, in terms of worst economic crisis in the history. The country has been ailing due to the staggering inflation, acute shortages of oil, food and other basic commodities, pushing millions to go hungry and half a million below poverty line.

The disgraced Rajapaksa and his elder brother Mahinda, the then Prime Minister, were forced to resign after the people of the country demanded them to quit. His official residence was stormed by the citizens in July.

He first fled to Maldives in a military plane, then moved to Singapore where he resigned and then finally flew to Thailand. His ousting made a way for the veteran Sri Lankan politician, Ranil Wickremesinghe who became the new president of the country.

Although, the people of Sri Lanka do not appear to favor Wickremesinghe, as they believe he does not have public support and lacks legitimacy. He is also accused of supporting Rajapaksa and his family and detaining legitimate protesters and union leaders who are fighting for justice.

Canada – safe haven for criminals & terrorists

When a country deliberately spoils its relations with another, it also turns a blind eye to wrongdoers taking advantage of the situation. Canada, under the leadership of PM Justin Trudeau, has been burning its bridges by constantly targeting India, when the entire world sees the latter as a peace-loving nation with great business opportunities. PM Trudeau has constantly made baseless remarks against India on different issues including wrong allegations stating Indian government’s involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistani. With increasing crime rate, Canada is slowly becoming a breeding ground for terrorist groups, gangs and local criminals. India released a long list of individuals, suspected to have links with gangs operating out of Canada, and also offered a dossier. However, Canada ignored all of these without any action as the country was busy maligning India’s global reputation. Canada has openly supported Khalistan movement by showing its support to
