The Sri Lankan Government has accused Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of engaging in “Vote Bank Politics”. This comes after Trudeau said that he wanted more accountability from Sri Lanka. The Canadian Parliament has designated May 18 as the “Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day”. Trudeau says that the Sri Lankan government carried out atrocities against Ethnic Tamil minorities in the civil war that lasted almost three decades. Meanwhile Colombo has accused Trudeau of trying to create unrest in social harmony after being influenced by funders with vested interests. India has also accused Trudeau of using vote bank politics and for giving political spotlight to Khalistani terrorists.
