Canada rescinds dinner invite to Jaspal Atwal, who India says was part of a Sikh terrorist groupJustin Trudeau’s state visit to India has been overshadowed by revelations that a businessman convicted of trying to assassinate an Indian minister in the 1980s was invited to several official events. Photos were circulated on Thursday showing Atwal posing with Trudeau’s wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, at an event in Mumbai earlier this week. “The person and department responsible will take full responsibility for his actions.”His office clarified Atwal was not part of Trudeau’s official delegation.
