Jagmeet Singh, the leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party (NDP) and a vocal supporter of Khalistan—a separatist Sikh movement, announced on Tuesday that he will step down as party leader.
This comes after the results of the 45th national election, in which Singh not only finished third in his parliamentary chair in Burnaby Central in British Columbia, but also saw his party drop its official status as a result of his inability to secure the lowest 12 seats in the House of Commons.
Singh stated on social media that it was” the honor of my career to guide the NDP and represent the people of Burnaby Central.” I am disappointed that we were unable to secure more votes. However, I am never let down by our action. I am aware that we will usually favor optimism over anxiety.
In the meantime, Mark Carney’s Liberal Party in Canada re-elected on Tuesday based on the results of the vote. After interior party protest, Carney, who succeeded Justin Trudeau, had called an early election to seek a new mission.
Carney has attempted to change the firmness of the nation’s international policy. Carney has argued in favor of restoring political ties with India, in contrast to Trudeau, whose relations with India deteriorated after it was accused of being involved in Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s shooting.
After the most recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Carney condoled the survivors and suggested a possible change of course of action.
