The Canadian prime minister criticized India Wednesday over its alleged interference in the "safety and sovereignty of Canada."

India made a "horrific mistake" by attempting to violate Canada's sovereignty, Prime Minister Justine Trudeau said.

Although the tit-for-tat move sent bilateral relations skidding to a new low, Narendra Modi and Justin Trudeau are unlikely to mind too much. Both leaders are in their third terms and face political challenges.

Trudeau stated Canada supports India's territorial integrity under its 'One India' policy, despite diplomatic tensions. He highlighted the importance of Canada-India relations and expressed concern over allegations of foreign interference.
