Former Indian diplomat Deepak Vohra has stirred controversy with his recent claims about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Vohra, who previously served as India's ambassador to Sudan, alleged on Indian television that Trudeau's plane was "full of cocaine" during the recent G20 summit in India.
Vohra made these startling claims during a Zee News show, as reported by the Toronto Sun. "When Justin Trudeau came to India for the G20 this month, his plane was full of cocaine," Vohra stated. "He did not come out of his room for two days." He further claimed that police dogs had detected the presence of cocaine on Trudeau's plane during the summit.
The former diplomat also shared his wife's observations of Trudeau at the Delhi airport, where she noted that the Canadian leader appeared "depressed and stressed." Vohra added, "We dont know the reason. I dont know the reality, but social media and some 'credible rumors' suggest that his plane was full of cocaine."
Vohra's critique of Trudeau extended beyond these allegations. He described Trudeau as appearing "lonely" and attempting to portray himself as a "Canadian Rambo." He also supported India's decision to suspend visa services in Canada.
In response to these allegations, the Prime Ministers Office issued a statement to the media, categorically denying Vohra's claims. "This (is) absolutely false and a troubling example of how disinformation can make its way into media reporting," the statement read.
Vohra also took issue with Trudeau's recent address in the House of Commons. "In his parliament address, he used the words 'credible allegations against India," Vohra said. "How can allegations be credible? Either it can be credible or an allegation. I also have a 'credible rumor' to make in this case that Trudeau is crazy. It is a credible rumor."
Last week, Trudeau informed the House of Commons that Canadian intelligence services are investigating a "potential link" between the Indian government and the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh leader from British Columbia.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has denied these allegations. In the wake of these events, India has ceased processing Canadian visas, and both nations have expelled senior diplomats. Trudeaus jet was also delayed in India due to "technical difficulties."
