Why did Trudeau resign?

Justin Trudeau has resigned from his post. For the last few months, many leaders of his own cabinet had stood against him. One reason for Trudeau’s resignation is said to be speaking in support of Khalistanis and expressing his opinion against India. Let us tell you that during Trudeau’s tenure as PM, Canada’s relations with India had turned sour. From the beginning, India had opposed the policies of the Trudeau government under which he used to speak in support of Khalistanis. People and leaders of Indian origin were also against Trudeau due to Canada’s deteriorating relations with India.
