Canada's Liberal Party Revokes Hindu MP Chandra Arya's Nomination
Canada Politics: Canada's ruling Liberal Party has dealt a significant blow to Hindu MP Chandra Arya, revoking his nomination for the upcoming elections. Arya has been consistently outspoken against Khalistani supporters, prompting the party's decisive action. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party, often perceived as sympathetic to Khalistani elements, has effectively barred him from seeking re-election.
Chandra Arya Will Not Contest Elections
62-year-old Chandra Arya, who has represented the Nepean riding in Ottawa since 2015 and served three terms as an MP, will not participate in the upcoming elections. He himself revealed that the party had revoked his nomination. Arya has been an outspoken critic of Khalistani activities in Canada and has repeatedly voiced concerns on these issues.
Decision Taken Long Ago
According to a letter from Andrew Bevan, co-chair of the Liberal Party's national campaign, the decision was made some time ago. The removal of Chandra Arya was reportedly decided when speculation intensified regarding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's replacement with new leadership within the party.
Nomination Revoked Based on "Green Light Committee" Recommendation
Arya shared the party's letter on X (formerly Twitter), which stated that the Liberal Party's "Green Light Committee" had received new information. Based on this, the committee recommended to the party leadership that Arya's candidacy be revoked. However, the letter did not specify the nature of this "new information" that led to Arya's disqualification.
Was the Khalistan Issue the Reason for the Nomination Reversal?
Many analysts believe that Chandra Arya's outspokenness and firm stance against Khalistan led the Liberal Party to remove him from the electoral race. Arya has long spoken out against Khalistani supporters and their activities, which angered several factions within the party. His revocation is also being linked to the perceived pro-Khalistani leanings within the Canadian Liberal Party.
