PM Justin Trudeau News: The troubles of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are increasing continuously, and now the demand for his resignation is gaining momentum. Dissatisfaction among the Liberal Party MPs has come out in the open, raising questions about Trudeau's leadership ability. According to a CBC News report, the MPs have given him an ultimatum to step down by October 28.

Start of dissatisfaction and meeting

In a closed-door meeting held on Parliament Hill, the dissatisfied MPs put their grievances directly in front of Justin Trudeau. The meeting took place during a session of the House of Commons, in which the MPs expressed dissatisfaction against the Prime Minister and demanded his resignation. Trudeau is now facing increasing pressure from within his own party.

According to sources, 24 MPs have signed an agreement demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister. In the meeting, the MPs were given two minutes each to present their views, in which some spoke against Trudeau and some in his support.

Document presented in favor of resignation

British Columbia MP Patrick Wheeler presented a document during the meeting, which gave arguments in favor of Trudeau's resignation. In this document, it was suggested that if Trudeau steps down, the Liberal Party could also get the same benefit as the US Democrats got when President Joe Biden chose not to contest re-election. This three-hour long meeting is a clear indication of the growing discontent within the party, which is creating a deep crisis on Trudeau's leadership.

Strained relations with India

Amidst this political crisis, Justin Trudeau's recent remarks have further worsened the already tense relations between India and Canada. Trudeau once again accused India of being involved in the murder of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar without any concrete evidence, which India has outrightly rejected. As a result, relations between the two countries have become more tense. India has also recalled its High Commissioner from Canada due to this dispute, which has increased bitterness in diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Questions on political future

Justin Trudeau's political position is in serious trouble due to growing discontent within his Liberal Party and deteriorating relations with India. Demands for resignation from within the party and tensions in India-Canada relations have raised questions on Trudeau's leadership ability.

The ultimatum of October 28 can prove to be important for Justin Trudeau's political career. Now it remains to be seen whether he will be able to face this challenge or he will have to step down from the post.
