Video of Canadian defence minister Harjit Singh Sajjan caught littering by a Punjabi shop owner in Osoyoos, Canada, has gone viral on social media.

The video which was uploaded by XLRadio Vancouver on Monday captured Sajjan reacting sheepishly on being questioned about his actions. It shows Sajjan eating cherries and throwing their seeds outside a shop while sitting in the driver’s seat of his vehicle.

The car bears a registration number EE7 99D with inscription “Beautiful British Columbia”.

In the video, Sajjan is seen trying to conceal his identity but the shop owner of East Indian Meat Shop seems to aware of his VIP status.

The shopkeeper snubs the minister for showing lack of manners.
