Jesse expressed optimism about the changing dynamics under Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney.

Jesse said that the Khalistani support and influence that was prominent during Justin Trudeau's tenure as Prime Minister will diminish under Carney's leadership. He described Trudeau as a "weak Prime Minister" with an agenda against India, which he believed is no longer a factor.”...With PM Mark Carney, becoming the Prime Minister, I think the Khalistani support and the Khalistani influence that we saw in the past, i don't see it happening anymore. Justin Trudeau was a very weak Prime Minister, just like his father, and they had some kind of an agenda against India, which is gone...The Khalistani influence is not there...Khalistani are a very, very small percentage of the population...The majority of the Sikhs living outside India, love India, Punjab, and want India and Punjab to grow..| don't even consider Khalistanis as Sikhs as they don't work on Sikh principles..." said Jesse. "This election that happened in Canada and with Carney, becoming the Prime Minister, I think the Khalistanis’ support and the Khalistanis’ influence that we saw in the past, I don’t see it happening anymore. Justin Trudeau was a very weak prime minister just like his father, and they had some kind of agenda against India which is gone, that era is gone, the Khalistani influence is not there,” he said. Jesse welcomed Canada’s invitation to PM Modi to attend the G7 Summit, seeing it as a positive development in India-Canada relations. He commended Carney for inviting PM Modi and noted that it marks a new beginning for the two countries.
