PUNJAB: Amid the clamour over the attack on Hindus in Canada, Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu on Monday accused Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of creating divisions among different communities in the country.

"The news reports coming in over the past few days, the situation that has formed in Canada do not pertain one particular religion. Be it Hindu or Sikh, PM Trudeau has divided everyone there," Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu said.

Bittu criticized both those advocating for pro-Khalistan slogans and the Canadian police for their support, stating that the Indian Government will respond to the situation with a more decisive action.

"Khalistanis came outside religious places to disturb people in festive season. Their Police seem to be standing in support of Khalistanis...These will not be tolerated. We will move against the Govt of Canada, wherever we have to approach...These people who are raising Khalistani slogans are on their payroll," Bittu said.

Criticizing the attack on Hindus in Canada and terming it to be "unfortunate", Congress leader Rashid Alvi said that the Indian Government needs to work in improving its relations with Canada to pacify the situation.
