India is contemplating restoring its relationship with Canada, shortly after Mark Carney was chosen as the new head of the ruling Liberal Party and took over from Justin Trudeau.
This new development arises as reports indicate that Canada’s intelligence head, Daniel Rogers, is expected to travel to India in mid-March for an annual gathering of intelligence officials.
This would mark the first encounter between the two nations following their officials' meeting in Singapore to discuss the assassination of Khalistani militant Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Speaking to the media, Carney mentioned that Canada aims to “diversify” its trade partnerships with countries that share its values, especially in light of its current trade tensions with the United States.
“There are chances to strengthen ties with India; it’s essential to have a common set of values regarding trade relations. If I become Prime Minister, I am eager to create that opportunity,” Carney expressed last Tuesday in Calgary, prior to being elected as the leader of the ruling Liberal Party.
"Retract Words If Offensive": M Kharge Amidst Intense Dispute Over Remarks
"Retract Words If Offensive": M Kharge Amidst Intense Dispute Over Remarks
On Tuesday afternoon in the Rajya Sabha, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge's statement about his party being ready to challenge the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party sparked a heated controversy after BJP MPs raised objections to what they described as a "derogatory" word aimed at the Chair.
The comments made by the Congress leader were criticized by BJP chief and Leader of the House JP Nadda, labeling them as "inexcusable." He stated, "...he must apologize and the term needs to be removed."
In response, Mr. Kharge quickly expressed regret and voluntarily retracted his statement—which loosely translates as 'targeting' someone in Hindi. "I apologize. I wasn't referring to you (the Chair)... It pertained to governmental policies. I regret if my words offended you. I am sorry," he explained.
The altercation arose from Monday's turmoil—an intense conflict between the central government and Tamil Nadu concerning delimitation and the supposed 'imposition' of Hindi through the new education policy's three-language system. Afterward, the BJP faced criticism for its use of inappropriate language.
The ruling party in Tamil Nadu, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, took offense to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's harsh statements regarding Tamil Nadu, which included labeling the state as "dishonest." Chief Minister MK Stalin criticized Mr. Pradhan for being "arrogant" and "acting like a king."
Mr. Pradhan's comments led to demonstrations from DMK MPs both within the Parliament and outside it, and senior DMK leader K Kanimozhi subsequently submitted a privilege motion against the Education Minister.

“Canada will never, under any circumstances, become part of America,” Mark Carney states after claiming victory in the Prime Minister elections.
The 59-year-old ex-governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England will take over from Justin Trudeau as the new Prime Minister of Canada.
Following his announcement as Canada’s next Prime Minister, Mark Carney asserted his position regarding the United States, declaring that Ottawa will “never, under any circumstances, become part of America.”
This political newcomer, with a significant background as the governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, achieved leadership of the Liberal Party with an impressive over 85 percent of the votes, totaling 131,674.
Well-known for his critiques of US President Donald Trump, Carney reinforced his firm opposition to America during his victory remarks.
In light of Trump’s recurring desire to make Canada the 51st state, Carney stated, “America is distinct from Canada. Canada will never, under any circumstances, become part of America.”
Mark Carney highlighted how Americans seek to acquire Canadian resources, water, land, and country. “If they succeeded, they would undermine our way of life,” Carney expressed while speaking to attendees at the Liberal Party convention.
“We cannot, and will not, allow Trump to prevail,” he emphasized.
He also criticized the American healthcare system, referring to it as primarily a business, contrasting it with Canada’s system where healthcare is viewed as a “right.” He compared the two by saying, “America is a melting pot; Canada is a mosaic,” as reported by BBC.
Regarding Trump’s threats of tariffs, Carney mentioned that Canada’s countermeasures will remain until the US can offer a genuine commitment to free and fair trade.
