During a closed-door meeting, dissenting MPs conveyed their grievances to Trudeau. Dissident Liberal MPs have given him an ultimatum to decide his future by October 28. A document was also presented outlining the case for his resignation, but it didn’t specify any consequences if he fails to meet the deadline.

Sources speaking to Radio-Canada said 24 MPs signed an agreement to call on Trudeau to step down as Liberal leader.

Meanwhile, Chandra Arya, a Canadian MP of Indian origin has said, “Khalistani violent extremism is a Canadian problem and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has said the national task force is focused on investigating it.”
