New video footage, uncovered by the Sun, casts doubt on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s explanation about what happened on his disastrous trip to India.

Just hours before news broke that a convicted Khalistani terrorist was part of Trudeau’s entourage in India, Liberal MP Randeep Sarai was interviewed on India Today and can be seen touting the Canada-India security relationship.

Sarai has since been thrown under the bus and blamed for inviting Jaspal Atwal — a B.C. Sikh convicted of the attempted murder of an Indian cabinet minister in B.C. in 1986 — to an official state dinner reception with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in India.

But last Wednesday, the rookie member of parliament was proudly discussing Canada’s approach to counter-terrorism and defending the federal government’s record in working with India.

“On national security matters, we always cooperate between the two countries,” said Sarai, talking about Canada and India. “I’ve been assured by our intelligence agencies and our law enforcement that they are in regular contact with India.”

“Any time any threats are ever (coming) from any side, we expect to share those whether India knows of anything in Canada, or Canada know of anything that may be happening in India,” said Sarai, in response to a question on Sikh separatism.

“They are always cooperating and there is zero tolerance for any extremist elements of anyone,” said Sarai.
