[WashingtonPost] How did Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the world's favorite liberal mascot ‐ a feminist man, with movie-star good looks, a 50 percent female cabinet and a political lexicon that has replaced "mankind" with "peoplekind" (making millions swoon) ‐ end up looking silly, diminished and desperate on his trip to India this week?
Trudeau's eight-day India expedition has been an absolute fiasco.
Hours before meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his journey hit a dead end when the Canadian high commissioner invited a Sikh extremist named Jaspal Atwal (who has been convicted of attempted murder and was previously affiliated with a terrorist group) to a dinner to honor Trudeau in Delhi. Atwal was found guilty of trying to kill an Indian minister in 1986; he was also blamed for an assault on Ujjal Dosanjh, the former premier of British Columbia.
