Following Canada PM Justin Trudeau's allegations of Indian involvement in Nijjar killing, another Canadian controversy emerges. The speaker of Canada's House of Commons issued an apology for commending an individual during a parliamentary meeting who had served in a Nazi unit during World War Two. Just two days prior, Speaker Anthony Rota had publicly acknowledged 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka as a "Ukrainian hero" within the Canadian Parliament. It was later revealed that Hunka had served in World War II as a member of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. This revelation came to light following demands for an apology from the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organisation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the public gathering at 'Karyakarta Mahakumbh' at Jamboree Maidan in Bhopal, MP. The PM started his speech by saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Later in his speech, the Prime Minister launched a scathing attack on the Congress government and said that Congress have outsourced everything to Urban Naxals. Congress has lost all its willpower. The grassroots leaders of Congress have been sitting quietly with their mouths locked. First, Congress was ruined, then they became bankrupt, and now they have given their contract to someone else. The party is no longer being run by its leaders. Now it is outsourcing everything, from slogans to policies, and this contract is with some urban Naxalites.
