Indian government clearly denies snubbing Justin Trudeau on his visit to India. As per the report, PM Modi receiving any foreign minister at the airport is his personal gesture and not a protocol.
The foreign ministry had raised many issues in relation to the seven-day visit of Justin Trudeau to India. They claimed that Indian Government was snubbing Justin Trudeau and he was not accompanied once by Indian PM Narendra Modi on his initial visit to his hometown Gujarat.
Sources supposed that Minister of state had welcomed Trudeau by keeping to protocol. Sources added that ‘actually do not understand a PM have not received Chinese President XI Jinping on his visit.’ Receiving foreign heads at the airport is the personal gesture of PM. It is not a protocol.

In the reply, Indian authorities cleared that Justin Trudeau visit to other cities in spite of New Delhi was the decision of Canadian PM’s office. In spite of continuing suggestions by Indian part to come primarily to New Delhi. However, Trudeau would be visiting Mumbai today, and on Wednesday he will be in Amritsar. Therein Amritsar Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh would accompany him for sure.

On the other hand, Justin Trudeau is expected to repeat Canada ‘a position that it totally supports a united India. Indian also expects that Trudeau should also guarantee that Sikh ministers are not seen as supporting Khalistan Movement.
