OTTAWA—Justin Trudeau doubled down Feb. 28 on his support for a senior government official who suggested factions in the Indian government sabotaged the prime minister’s trip to India last week—despite a flat denial from India’s external affairs ministry which labelled the theory “baseless and unacceptable.”
And he got some back-up from a leading Sikh politician in India, who alleged that Indian intelligence agencies hatched a conspiracy to ruin Trudeau’s visit and brand him as a supporter of Sikh separatists.
