Following his Mumbai visit, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went to Amritsar on Wednesday. He was received by Hardeep Singh Puri and Navjot Singh Sidhu at the airport. Mr Trudeau paid obeisance at the Golden Temple along with his family. A thick security blanket was put in place in and around the Golden Temple. Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh met Justin Trudeau in Amritsar for a one-on-one meeting. Former deputy chief minister of Punjab and president of the Shiromani Akali Dal Sukhbir Singh Badal and his wife Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal also met the Canadian PM at Golden Temple.
Mr Trudeau attended langar, which is the community kitchen of the Golden Temple. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee arranged for a specially crafted 24-carat gold-plated portrait of the shrine and a gold-plated 'Siri Sahib' (a small six-inch sword) that was presented to the Canadian PM along with a 'siropa' (robe of honour) and a shawl.
The Canadian prime minister is on week-long visit to India. Mr Trudeau is accompanied by wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau and three children -Ella-Grace, Xavier and Hadrien and a delegation of ministers.
