Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the honoring of a Ukrainian Nazi veteran in Parliament "deeply embarrassing" after facing backlash. Trudeau was among those who applauded 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran of a Nazi SS division, who was introduced as a war hero after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Parliament. Jewish groups and opposition conservatives slammed the incident, with Trudeau admitting it was "clearly unacceptable." The Speaker of the House also apologized for recognizing Hunka as a "Ukrainian hero." The controversial recognition came amid Canada's diplomatic row with India over allegations of involvement in a Sikh separatist's murder.

In the week since Canadian PM Justin Trudeau accused Indian agents of involvement in the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Canadian Sikhs have staged small protests outside India's diplomatic missions. About 100 protesters in Toronto burned an Indian flag, while 200 gathered at the Vancouver consulate. Under 100 protesters waved 'Khalistan' flags in Ottawa outside the Indian High Commissioner's office.

Canada has about 770,000 Sikhs, the largest Sikh population outside India.
