Justin Trudeau makes outrageous allegations sans proof: Sri Lanka minister on India-Canada tensions

Amid tensions between India and Canada, Sri Lanka's Foreign Minister Ali Sabry has said that Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has a way of making outrageous allegations without any supporting proof.

Sri Lanka&rsquo;s Foreign Minister Ali Sabry has said that Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has a habit of making outrageous allegations without any supporting proof.
&nbsp;"Some of the terrorists have found safe haven in Canada. The Canadian PM has this way of just coming out with some outrageous allegations without any supporting proof," said Sabry.
"The same thing they did for Sri Lanka, a terrible, total lie about saying that Sri Lanka had a genocide. Everybody knows there was no genocide in our country," he added.
Sabry further said, " I saw yesterday he had gone and given a rousing welcome to somebody who have associated with the Nazis in the past during the Second World War. So this is questionable and we have dealt with it in the past. I am not surprised that sometimes PM Trudeau comes out with outrageous and substantiated allegations."

Honouring Nazi-linked veteran embarassing, unacceptable: Justin Trudeau

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has reacted to the row over honouring of a Ukrainian Nazi veteran in the country's Parliament

Canada's prime minister said Monday the singling out of a Ukrainian veteran alleged to have fought for the Nazis during World War II for a standing ovation during a visit by Kyiv's leader was shameful and intolerable.
The speaker of Canada's parliament, Anthony Rota, has apologized for the gaffe.
He'd paid homage to Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian immigrant, during President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Canada on Friday, telling the House of Commons Hunka had "fought for Ukrainian independence."
It was later pointed out that Hunka served in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, a Nazi military unit.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said this was "clearly unacceptable."
"This is something that is deeply embarrassing to the parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians," he told reporters.
A small faction allied with Trudeau's Liberals called for Rota to resign while the main opposition Conservatives slammed the Trudeau administration for failing to properly vet Hunka, despite claims it had no advance notice he'd been invited to the event.
A Jewish advocacy group called the incident "shocking" and "incredibly disturbing."
Rota, a Liberal MP, apologized on Sunday, saying that he had "subsequently become aware of more information" which caused him to "regret" his recognition of Hunka.
"This initiative was entirely my own... I particularly want to extend my deepest apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world," he said, repeating his comments on Monday in the House.

SGPC said that everything said by Canadian PM Justic Trudeau cannot be rejected easily and demanded a sincere approach by both countries.

Hardeep Singh Nijjar killing | Can't reject everything said by Canada PM: SGPC

SGPC said that everything said by Canadian PM Justin Trudeau cannot be rejected easily and demanded a sincere approach by both countries.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has passed a resolution expressing serious concerns over Canada's allegations against India on Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Everything said by the Prime Minister in the Parliament cannot be rejected easily. The truth of the allegations made by the Prime Minister of Canada should be brought to the light of the people through a sincere approach by both countries by going beyond politics. If this case is suppressed only because of politics, it will be considered as an injustice to human rights,&rdquo; SGPC said.
The resolution condemned the alleged hate propaganda being spread against Sikhs and Punjab in the mainstream media and on social media platforms.
&ldquo;The India-Canada issue has been deliberately focused by a large part of the media only on character assassination of Sikhs,&rdquo; it said.

Refugees continue to head to Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh after Azerbaijan took control of the disputed area. 

Thousands flee into Armenia after Azerbaijan retakes Nagorno-Karabakh

Refugees continue to head to Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh after Azerbaijan took control of the disputed area.&nbsp;

Thousands of refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh streamed into Armenia Monday as a deadly blast rocked a fuel depot in the rebel enclave and Azerbaijan and ally Turkey hailed Baku's victory over the majority ethnic Armenian area.
While Azerbaijan showcased its regional alliances, Russia hit back at embattled Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan after he blamed Moscow for the swift defeat of the breakaway territory.
Several days after the fighting, the first refugees arrived in Armenia on Sunday and 6,650 people have so far entered, Yerevan said on Monday.
AFP reporters saw the refugees crowding into a humanitarian hub set up in a local theatre in the city of Goris to register for transport and housing.
"We lived through terrible days," said Anabel Ghulasyan, 41, from the village of Rev, known as Shalva in Azeri.
She arrived in Goris with her family by minibus, carrying her belongings in bags.
An explosion at a fuel depot wounded more than 200 people, according to Armenian separatist authorities which have been supplying those seeking to leave the territory with petrol and diesel.
"As a result of the explosion in the fuel warehouse, the number of injured exceeds 200. The health condition of the majority is severe or extremely severe," the region's rights ombudsman Gegham Stepanyan said on social media.
"The medical capacities of (Nagorno-Karabakh) are not enough," he added, calling for air ambulances to be allowed to land.
An official had earlier indicated there were fatalities without giving a toll.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought two wars in the last three decades over Nagorno-Karabakh, a majority-ethnic Armenian enclave within the internationally recognised border of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan launched a lightning operation on September 19 to seize control of the territory, forcing the separatists to lay down their arms under the terms of a ceasefire agreed the following day.
It followed a nine-month blockade of the region by Baku that caused shortages of key supplies.
The separatists have said 200 people were killed in last week's fighting.
Baku announced two of its soldiers also died when a mine hit their vehicle on Sunday.
Azerbaijan's state media said officials held a second round of peace talks with Nagorno-Karabakh's ethnic Armenian community aimed at "reintegrating" them.
But on the road heading to Armenia, more and more residents from the region appeared to be trying to get out as the witnesses said cars were snarling up in traffic.
At the refugee centre in Goris, Valentina Asryan, a 54-year-old from the village of Vank who fled with her grandchildren, said her brother-in-law was killed and several other people were injured by Azerbaijani fire.
"Who would have thought that the 'Turks' would come to this historic Armenian village? It's incredible," she said, referring to the Azerbaijani forces.
She was being housed temporarily in a hotel in Goris and had "nowhere to go".

The Washington Post has reported that the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada's surrey was caught on CCTV and the footage shows that at least 6 people with 2 cars were involved. The American news outlet wrote that the accounts of the witnesses it spoke to 'suggest a larger and more organized operation than has previously been reported.'
The Washington Post reported that a 90-second recording of the video reviewed by it starts with Nijjar&rsquo;s grey truck pulling out of the gurdwara's parking space and a white sedan appearing in an adjacent lot and then pulling up to the truck. The two vehicles are initially separated by a walkway and then the truck enters the sedan's lane.&nbsp;
The white sedan then pulls up in front of Nijjar's truck to block its exit from the parking lot.&nbsp;
The Washington Post further reported that 'two men in hooded sweatshirts emerge from under a covered waiting area and move toward the truck.'
The video then shows the two men pointing firearms at the driver&rsquo;s seat. The sedan exits the parking lot and drives out of view with the two men running in the same direction.

The Washington Post has reported that at least 6 people and 2 vehicles were involved in the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18. The news outlet said its report was based on CCTV footage and accounts of eyewitnesses it spoke to.&nbsp;
Bhupinderjit Singh, a volunteer at the gurdwara outside which Nijjar was killed, told The Washington Post that he was playing football roughly 100 yards away when he heard the gunshots. Singh, the first witness to reach Nijjar&rsquo;s truck, opened the driver&rsquo;s side door and grabbed the gurdwara leader, who did not seem to be breathing.&nbsp;
Singh then drove off in pursuit of the attackers with another gurdwara member who was also on the spot.&nbsp;
A gurdwara member named Malkit Singh was also playing football in the area and saw the two hooded men who had fired at Nijjar running away from the spot. He chased them. Washington Post quoted Malkit as saying that the attackers were wearing &lsquo;a Sikh get-up&rsquo;. He described one attacker as &lsquo;over five feet tall and heavyset&rsquo; and the other as &lsquo;about 4 inches taller and leaner.&rsquo;&nbsp;
The men reportedly got into a waiting silver car with three other men waiting inside it. Malkit told the Washington Post that one of the running men even pointed a pistol at him before getting into the car.&nbsp;

Tanks, missiles and soldiers: South Korea’s show of strength in rare parade

South Korea displayed its military might in a rare street parade in Seoul.

About 4,600 South Korean soldiers, accompanied by more than 300 US combat troops, paraded through the streets of Seoul on Tuesday along with tanks, missiles and other weapons to display their readiness.
South Korea last held such a parade in 2013.
The show of force comes as concerns grow that <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/north-korea-s-kim-jong-un-wraps-up-russia-trip-with-drones-gift-1695011924041">North Korea</a> is seeking Russian help in expanding its nuclear arsenal in return for supplying Moscow with conventional arms exhausted by its war with Ukraine.
Worries flared earlier this month when North Korean leader Kim Jong Un travelled to Russia&rsquo;s far eastern region to meet with President Vladimir Putin and visit key military sites.

Italy mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro dies after cancer battle

Matteo Messina Denaro, a convicted mastermind of some of the Sicilian Mafia&rsquo;s most heinous slayings, died on Monday in a hospital prison ward.

Matteo Messina Denaro, a most-wanted Italian mafia leader, has died after a cancer battle and being in a coma since Friday. The 61-year-old was caught by police this year after avoiding arrest for 31 years.
Denaro was involved in dozens of murders and was given six life sentences. Pierluigi Biondi, a mayor in Italy, said Denaro&rsquo;s death &ldquo;puts the end to a story of violence and blood.&rdquo;
His arrest came 30 years and a day after the January 15, 1993, capture of the Mafia&rsquo;s &ldquo;boss of bosses,&rsquo;&rsquo; Salvatore &ldquo;Toto&rdquo; Riina in a Palermo apartment, also after decades in hiding. Messina Denaro himself went into hiding later that year.
