Amarinder shoots himself in the foot by refusing to meet Canadian Defence Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan, who met Haryana CM and promised to increase bilateral businesses and also talked to SGPC president Kirpal Singh Badungar.
Lots more happened behind the scenes from the first day when Amarinder let offthe bomb shell that he would not meet Harjit Sajjan or any other Punjabi origion MP of Canada because they supported radicals and espoused the cause of Khalistan. The Punjab CM tried to sell this narrative in the aftermath of a resolution passed by the Ontario legislature which condemned India for his human rights violations including the 1984 anti-Sikh riots which it termed as genocide. Sajjan had nothing to do with the resolution though it was moved by his fellow Liberal party MP Harinder Malhi.
